CurlyWhirly Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 I don't know how it's happened as I have never installed Google Chrome but for some reason it is showing in the Quick Launch bar (below): Any idea how I can get rid of the icon ? Cheers for any advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Is Chrome in your list of installed programs and/or in Add/Remove? I had a phantom like that and couldn't find the program anywhere. In the end I installed Chrome and then deleted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end I installed Chrome and then deleted it.No pops Google Chrome wasn't in Add/Remove which is a tad worrying as I have never installed it ! Perhaps I accidentally elected to install it when installing a Google related utility like Google Earth for example ? Anyway I did what you suggested and installed it and then rebooted the PC and then rebooted it and uninstalled Google Chrome and now the Quick Launch icon is gone but the desktop icon refuses to go to the recycle bin ! I'll reboot the PC when I've finished downloading a file and see if the error goes away and allows me to delete the desktop icon. Thanks for your help.
