Right click, select delete, left click, select yes ( it will tell you at
this point that you are not uninstalling the program ).
You can get to the program via the start menu.

Delete is greyed out in the right-click menu. If it was as obvious as that
I'd have done it! Unfortunately it isn't...

Check properties ( in the right click menu) select general tab , uncheck
attributes read only.

You may need to logon as administrator or at least as the user who installed
this package.

That option's greyed out as well, and it's ticked. So it's impossible to
uncheck it. It's win XP

Sorry I don't have XP , just WIN2000 but it sounds like a security feature,
were you able to login as the administrator ?

Yep I'm the only admin on the machine and booting up in safe mode doesn't
make any difference.

It's a special icon, not a regular shortcut, so you can't just delete it.
Since Nokia didn't feel like providing an option to disable it, you'll have
to go about it another way...

The tool for the job is the free TweakUI app from Microsoft, available
here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/h.../powertoys.asp

It's about a 500Kb download, and well worth it. Run that, and choose "My
Computer" from the left hand tree. On the right you will then see a list of
the special My Computer icons and have the option to disable them
individually.
