Superimposed desktop icons

The program folder icon is superimposed over the shortcut icons on the desktop. I've tried everything I can think of to remove the program icon, but to no avail. The shortcuts work normally. It is just difficult to read the shortcut icon with the program icon over the top of it. How do I remove the superimposed program icon?

 

have you tried windows explorer, select the desktop at the top of the menu, can you see the icon in the right hand menu and delete it.

OOps!, sorry brianf, didn't see you before...

 

Is the arrow missing? The wrong icon may have mistakenly replaced the shortcut arrow.

If so try this:

Download TweakUI and go to the repair tab. Choose Rebuild Icons from the drop dropdown menu.



You can download TWEAKUI here. Install it and then go to control panel to find it.

See if this adjustment to the Icon Spacing helps this any:
