When I delete an icon by dragging to the trash can, the icon does not disappear. If I then try to open it, it says the file cannot be found. The icon will eventually disappear (in the next day or so). I tried clearing the icon cache and that did not help.
At the same time, having an issue with Skype refusing to load, and the task manager has same problem when I try to end the process - says it will, but process remains.
I have also tried doing a system restore to a point before I experienced this - no joy.
Help!
