Indelible Desktop Icons

I have four desktop icons that will not die. The exact method of creation
escapes me, but I think it happened thus: As Administrator, Open Control
Panel, start TweakUI. In TweakUI, go to Desktop, select Printers/Faxes and
Start Menu, then Control Panel and click "Create as File." Fonts, Scheduled
Tasks and Administrative Tools may have also been created as files. Anyway,
the last four icons now appear on all user desktops and cannot be deleted.
Their properties are the same as the Control Panel *.cpl files'. They do not
appear in a command box "DIR" of any user. They did turn up in one Nethood
folder and could not be deleted there. The container wasn't deletable either.
The "Control Panel" file was deletable and both the check-box items went away
when unchecked. Norton Windoctor 2005 reports "no problems found." This seems
to be a cosmetic problem, but it's annoying. Any help appreciated.
