| Are you sure they aren't used by another program? because you have to terminate the program before deleting the files |

| You could try using DOS to delete the files. |

| Please post a screenshot of the icons and the lack of a properties item in the context menu and explain what you where looking for in the registry. |

If you can't click on them, view the properties window, delete them, and they they're not in your registry someone probably took a screen shot of your desktop and made it your wallpaper.  Funny.
I would check that first.

I did that once to my friend's computer, and it took him an entire week to figure out what was happening  |

Haha, the best is when you take a screen shot of their desktop and turn of the "show desktop icons" option. Then, when they try to do anything with the desktop, it won't work

| You forgot minimizing the start bar, an important part of that trick. |
