The last time this happened to me Yahoo! Messenger folks said some kind of java problem. Nothing worked and I just switched to using Trillian :(\n\nOnly when I formatted my computer did things start working again.

When you say yahoo-internet explorer, do you mean IE with a yahoo toolbar?  I believe that the yahoo toolbar blocks popups, so that could be your with the popups when you simply have IE.  Piece of advice, download another browser - Opera or Firefox - they're faster, and don't have IE's consistent problem with popups.\n\nOh yeah, and IE won't be in the add/remove programs, because it is built into windows and can't be deleted.  You can, however, delete the yahoo toolbar, if you so desire.

You probably, have some hidden or system files on it. Highlight the folder icon, and look under "properties", and check to see if the hidden and/or system boxes are checked, if they are uncheck them then refresh the folder, they should show up then. You can't delete the swapfile.

I got the same thing when I first downloaded yahoo's security system ?  I just deleted it from the yahoo security itself.  I think it came with the program anyway!  You could always do a system restore if you find you think you need it!  Peace!

I'm assuming you are using Yahoo Mail Beta.\n\nThe move button is not working in this version. It hasn't yet. You should be getting an error message. However, you can drag and drop files into folders. Just click on the message and drag it to the folder you wish. WHen it 'lights up', let go.

I would start by doing a complete uninstall first.\n\nuninstall yahoo completely. Just deleting it wont uninstall it all.\n\nalso go to your registry and delete any yahoo references. If you don't know how to do that you need to ask another question.\nBut you can access the registery by going to start/run and type in regedit.  but be careful you dont screw it up.\n\nthen try again with a new fresh install.

It means that the icon in question is a `shortcut' to a particular program (easily identified by the graphical display of the icon).. if the links to the files (target) are not working, most probably the executive in question has got corrupted.. uninstall that programme.. the icon should be gone too.. if not, delete it manually.. then reinstall the programme.. it should now work.. one very rare chance.. has someone made a screen-grab of your desktop and used the same as the background?

If none the above methods work, you can try restarting your computer in safe mode and then try to delete the file.\n\nTo start in safe mode, restart your computer. Press F8 continuosly during re-boot until you see the start-up option screen. Use your up/down arrows to select the safe mode option. After your desktop shows, go to your recycle bin and try delete again.

for some questions this form of question and answer is unsuitable, a dialog would be more useful. ok anyway -\ntry the following (if not already done): right click on a free area on the desktop and select "arrange symbols" and then click "arrange automatically". this will place your desktop icons on a fix location. then try again to click on a icon - does it still disappear ?

Check to make sure you have the most current version of Firefox. Click on "help" then "about". Mine is 1.5.0.1 and I always keep it updated. Yahoo works fine for me and I can see all icons/pics.

If they did not get moved to the DELETED folder then it is gone. It has been wiped from yahoo servers, sorry =(\n\nEDIT: When you delete from outlook, it goes to your deleted folder in outlook. Did she delete it from there too? If she did, it got deleted from your computer and you cannot retrieve that either, sorry.\n\nTry checking Deleted Items Folder in Outlook.

It would help if you could provide additional information, as I'm not really sure as to what you mean by right-clicking in the add/remove programs control panel.  If you have an icon that you want to get rid of it and can't delete it, just select it and press the 'Delete' key.\n\nIf you want to send additional information and receive additional help,  you can e-mail me at kevinarbogast@yahoo.com

Try restarting your computer. It might just be that the program that was using it didn't close right. If you still can't delete it, try booting into safe mode (Press F8 while the computer is booting and then choose safe mode). Find the file and delete it from there and restart like normal and your problem should be fixed.
