2890.0. "Delete Control Panel icons?" by ABACUS::mkodhcp-46144185.mko.dec.com::TOMAS () Thu Apr 03 1997 14:18

How do I delete a program icon from within the Control Panel
folder?  Task Bar properties only allows me to access the StartUp 
menu.  I can view the files contained within the Control Panel
folder with Explorer but there is no option to delete a file.

Thanks,

    	Once you bring up the Control Panel, can't you:
    
    	Left single-click on icon
    	Right single-click on icon
    	Drag down to "delete" and then verify
    
    	?

No.  I cannot select any icon within the Control Panel folder
and either move it to the desktop (or another folder) or 
delete it.  About the only thing I can do is create a 
shortcut to the application.

The uninstall routine for this program left the icon behind. 
Now I can't figure out how to eliminate it.

Ideas?

thx... joe

	Did you try deleting the associated .CPL file?
