Restart in Safe Mode and log on with the computer's built-in Administrator account. (It has no password.) Right-click on the icon and select the Security tab. Checkmark the unchecked boxes in the Allow column. Apply and OK. Now try to delete the icon. Empty the Recycle Bin. After doing this restart your computer normally.
Do NOT attempt to make any changes to the Administrator account. It is your lifeline when things go awry.

No. And it does not list it using a command prompt. The Icon also appears somewhat transparent on the desktop. It does list in explorer in the desktop directory, but can't be changed in any way..

It does not list using a command prompt, and it won't rename, cut, or delete from destop or windows explorer. Any ideas?
