While trying to place a shortcut icon for eBay on my desktop, I selected the option to paste to desktop. Now I have a portion of the eBay home page on the desktop and I don't know how to remove it. Need advice please. Thanks.

Can you right-click on it and select "Delete"?
The easiest way to put a shortcut on your Desktop:
1. Navigate to the desired Web page and right-click on an empty part of the page.
2. A menu will pop up. Select 'Create Shortcut.' The shortcut will be created on the desktop. The next time you want to open the page, just double-click on the shortcut.

Karma, I am afraid Violet tricked you. If she is using her new Mac, your advice may not work. I don't know if Mac still uses the term alias in place of short cut or not. I think on an older Mac, opening the desktop folder in the system folder and dragging the Ebay icon to the trash would work.

It's her first post - how do we know it's a Mac?

Back to the desktop "goof-up" - No, you do not have the option to delete when you right click or any option to cut or get rid of it. This is Windows XP, not Mac. Thanks for the reply.

I know this has happened to others but I have seen no definitive method of resolution.

I have installed a new windows 2000 that works, but would need to reinstall all my drivers...
