I copied ipad icons onto my windows desktop how do I remove them?

My dad was trying to add an icon to his desktop and managed to copy about 12 ipad icons onto his desktop and I can't remove them for him.
They are large and don't respond to the cursor. I looked in desktop but they aren't listed. I renamed them a text file which listed them in the desktop
folder and deleted them vbut the icons are still on his desktop.

Hi its Kitzy1 reporting in. Had difficulty locating my own message. We found two responses in my dad's email. Thank you so much for responding as I felt really alone and confused.  My sister figured out that somehow my dad had made a wallpaper with the ipad icons which is why they didn't respond to the cursor.  Once I got a clue, I figured out it was a corruption of his user profile in windows and fixed it!  Thank you thank you for responding. It was definitely a humdinger!  Katherine

  • Got several adobe updater icons in my menu bar how do I remove them?

    Installing adobe photoshop elements 10 I ended up with several updater icons in my menu bar. Tried command dragging them out, but that didn't work. Any ideas?

    As far as I know the only way to get rid of them is to 1) install the updates and then 2) turn off automatic updates for PS Elements (in PSE Preferences).

    If it appeared because you were changing the Finder's preferences, change them back. If not, just delete the item.

  • My horizontal scroll bar went missing when I maximise the window. How do I fix them?

    My horizontal scroll bar went missing when I maximise the window. How do I fix them? I tried everything; such as auto hide the task bar. Even with this, I still can't see the horizontal scroll bar. I even tried the following and I still can't see the horizontal scroll bar.
    1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste dom and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the dom.disable_window_open_feature.scrollbars preference to switch it from false to true. By choosing true, you disable sites from deciding whether there can be scrollbars on a window, and Firefox uses its standard behavior for the page.
    If you want to always get other bars, here are the corresponding settings:
    Menu Bar: dom.disable_window_open_feature.menubar
    Navigation Toolbar: dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar
    Bookmarks Toolbar: dom.disable_window_open_feature.personalbar
    Please help.

    Can you post a screen shot?
    Taking a Screen shot; '''''Windows > Start >''''' search box '''''> Snipping Tool'''''.
    Save the picture(s) to your desktop. Now look at the '''Reply''' box below.
    Do you see the button under it that says '''Browse'''? Click it and then select
    the screen shot(s) from the desktop.

  • When I double click my IPAD screen there are apps at the bottom. How can I remove them?

    When I double click my IPAD screen I have apps at the bottom how can I remove them?

    If you are running iOS 6 or iOS 5, those apps are the recently used apps in the recents tray. You don't need to remove then from there, but if you want to do so, you have to close them. You do that by holding down on one of the app icons until they all wiggle, then tap the red minus sign to close the app. Do that to every app that you want to close. Tap the home button when you are done.

  • I have home movies burned onto a DVD.  How do I get them into imovie?

    I have home movies burned onto a DVD.  How do I get them into imove?

    i assume you mean for editing.  in that case, you're going to need either some software or hardware to convert the signal from DVD to something that iMovie can handle.
    there are a couple of devices out there that can convert sources like DVD, like a Canopus ADVC ($170), or the cheaper Elgato VCD ($85) that converts to mp4.  the main advantage of the Canopus is that i can convert from analog sources like VHS.
    if you're just working from DVD sources, then DVDxDV software ($29) will probably do the trick and be the most reasonably priced option.
    of course, these all are meant to be used for non-copyrighted DVDs -- they will not work on DVD's that have have copy protection, and no one here will discuss any illegal copying.

  • I am using a MacBook Pro and when I open a new tab in Firefox it opens to Trovi. Mozilla has a forum but solutions are all for the PC/Windows. How do I remove it?

    I am using a OSX MacBook Pro running Mavericks version 10.9.4 and using Firefox 30.0.  My Mac has recently been hijacked by a program called "Trovi".

  • After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

    After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

    How do I even end up with multiple desktops and how do I remove them. All gets very confusing!

  • I was trying to move my photos from the iPhoto library to an external hard drive.  I now have a desktop display of thousands of cascading photos.  How do I remove them from my desktop screen?

    I was trying to move my photos from the iPhoto library to an external hard drive.  I now have a desktop display of thousands of cascading photos.  How do I remove them from my desktop screen?

    Strangely enough we can not see you so it really helps if you share with use exactly what you have, exactly what you did and details about the problem
    what version of iPhoto and of the OS? What exact steps did you do? where are you seeing these "thousands of cascading photos" now and using what software and what exactly did you want to accomplish
    The correct way to move your iphoto library to an external drive is to verify the drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journal) and then drag the iphotl library intact as a single entity to is
    The correct way to move some or all of your photos is to select them in iphoto and export 9file menu ==> export  --  https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921 ) to the external drive
