I pinned a folder named "Security" to my taskbar using the method on this page:

Specifically, I followed these instructions:

What we are going to do is pin a fake item to the taskbar and use it as scapegoat to change it to any function you’d like.

1) Pin any item to the taskbar.

Pinning folders as a separate item on the taskbar:

If you don’t like using jumplists, you can pin folders as an actual item. Navigate to the desired location and give the address bar a click. Copy the address that shows up. Skip to step 10.

Hold shift and right click the icon we pinned to the taskbar earlier, and choose Properties. Select the Shortcut tab, and paste the address into Target. Proceed to step 11.

Erase anything that is in the Start in box.

Click ok and you’re finished! The icon will not change unless you restart the explorer.exe process or log off then log back in.

The icon was on the taskbar but when I rebooted it was was gone. So I pinned the same folder again using a different method and when I tried to name that icon "Security" I got a msg saying there is already a link named "Security" so I assume the original one is still there, but I can't see it. Then when I rebooted, that second icon was also invisible.

So now how do I get rid of the darn things?

Thanks much,
Harold

EDIT - Ok, I think I found them under

%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar

So I can I just delete them from there? Will that be ok?
