How to delete desktop shortcuts

Hello all,
Can anyone tell me how to delete desktop shortcuts with LabVIEW.
I tried with delete.vi & through cmd but its deleting actual source file.
Just I want to remove corresponding shortcut from desktop (It should not delete actual source file).
Please help me if anyone have idea.

I can delete shortcuts from given input folder (if I'm running this VI alone). But when I’m making this VI as subvi, shortcuts are deleting but still its showing in the mentioned folder. When I’m refreshing that folder, its disappearing.
That sounds like normal Windows behavior to me.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Can't update add-ons, install toolbars or new add-ons, get desktop shortcut icons to work, delete desktop shortcut icons, or uninstall Firefox! Help!

I have Firefox 3.6.3 running on a Toshiba Satellit laptop with Windows XP. I can't update add-ons, install google and yahoo toolbars, get any of the 3 desktop shortcuts to work or delete them, nor uninstall Firefox to try and start over. What a piece of crap! How can I wake up from this nightmare?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
See [[Basic Troubleshooting|#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

How edit/delete keyboard shortcuts?

How do you delete keyboard shortcuts on iPhone 4s?

Try this:
Quit all apps: Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up
and
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
Then check again.
Keyboard shortcuts are synced with OS X via Documents & Data in the iCloud settings. You can try turning that off then back on and check to see if it deletes.

How to delete a shortcut favorite from the browser in the WORK Area

Hiho,
creating a shortcut favorite icon of a browser-website in the work area shows up a symbol to use this shortcut. In the private area I can delete this favorite-symbol by tapping longer on the icon an a trashcan shows up, so I can delete the icon (and the browser favorite from the private area). Not so in the work (buisiness) part of the BlackBerry, there is no possibility to delete this icon. I can't find a policy on the BES10 server or thomething on the Z10, any ideas how i can remove the icon?
Greetings... Ifrani

How to specify desktop shortcut icon for JWS-JNLP app?

Hi,
When JWS sets a shortcut on the desktop for the app that I wrote, it just uses the Java cup icon. How can I get it to use my icon instead?

I already have a line reading <icon href="yellow_aw.png"/> in my information tag, and the icon is the Java cup. I thought that the <icon href="yellow_aw.png"/> tag only specifies the icon that is displayed in the JavaWebStart start-up screen.
Any other ideas?

How to delete desktop photo

I am new to iPhoto6 and while experimenting with it I selected a JPEG pix, cropped it then hit DONE. The pix disappeared from iPhoto and went directly to my desktop, uncropped. I cannot find this pix in any of my files or folders so I can delete it. Now none of my regular desktop pix appear in rotation. Where is this unwanted pix hiding?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Do you mean that the pic is now set as your Desktop Picture or Wallpaper? Possibly you hit that button inadvertantly in the iPhoto Window. The simple way to rid yourself of it as desktop picture is to use System Preferences -> Desktop and ScreenSaver, Desktop element and choose another one.
FYI the pic remains in your iPhoto library, even trashing it from there will not change the desktop pic, and you'll need to use the above.

How to delete "duplicate shortcuts" on Launchpad?

I had recently encountered duplication of "shortcuts" on Lion OS's "Launchpad" when I installed several application, this problem bothered me a lot so I'd searched the net on forums regarding this, some says use the "Terminal app"...blaah, blaah so on and so fort.
Here's the best step-by-step solution:
a. install an application called "Mackeeper"
b. once installed, click "Smart Uninstaller" on the "Cleaning Section"
c. wait for the search results, the maneuver your way to the desired apps that you want to delete
d. if you're not so sure about the exact apps to be deleted since they have the same name, just click the apps and click the "Quick Look"
e. finally, click remove.
Hope to help you guys on this issue on the Launchpad.
Cheers.

I would NOT recommend downloading MacKeeper at all. It is unnecessary, unhelpful, and all around not good for your Mac.
If you do experience this "duplicate shortcut" problem, however, you can click and hold your cursor on any icon, and click the little "X" that appears in the top left, exactly as you would deleting an App on your iPhone.

[SOLVED] Delete Chromium App Desktop shortcut in XFce 4.8

I just want to ask how I can delete chromium app shortcut from the xfce menu?
[not the actual chromium icon, but a shortcut of webapp that I created using chromium]
I am using LXDE Menu Editor, because alacarte does not work for me.
LXMED can see and do everything I want apart from the fact that it can't see shortcuts to webapps created by chromium.
Let me put it this way:
I had created an web - desktop shortcut [to grooveshark] using chromium's tools [Menu > Tools > Create Aplication Shortcut...], it created a new entry called 'Grooveshark' under Internet category in my xfce menu, which I now want to delete.
How can I do that?
I was thinking about .desktop files, but since LXMED cannot see this shortcut, I am assuming that this may not be a standard .desktop file.
Maybe there is even some really easy way of deleting this shortcut directly from chromium, but I can't see one.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Thanks, I have another little question;
I have a quick access to Web Browser, Mail Reader, File Manager and Terminal using the 'quick access slots' at the top of xfce application menu.
When I did some of my menu edits using lxde menu editor, I noticed that I 'pulled off' my 'Web browser' shortcut from quick slot - how can I restore it?
Thanks,
I am still getting familiar with xfce...

How do I prevent creative cloud from installing a desktop shortcut?

I have absolutely no need for a desktop shortcut to cc, since I have it running in the taskbar whenever I start my computer. What's worse is that I have to type in admin username and password to be able to delete these icons from my work computer. It's a pain that this thing that I don't want keeps popping up with every update. My desktop is already cluttered, it doesn't need Adobe's help making it worse.
Any way to stop Adobe from adding a desktop shortcut to CC?
Thanks!!

There is no option to uncheck "Create Desktop Shortcut" as in other installers as far as I know.
