Solved Strange Icon

[Frank C]

Hi
I have an icon on my desktop labeled Frank that is identical in content with folder
C:/Users/Owner
This icon is not a shortcut and it is not identified as a folder. when I look at it in Windows Explorer it does not show any attributes like Size, Type or Date Created. It also does not have Properties upon right click.
If I change something in Frank it is also changed in C:/Users/Owner and vice versa.
I would like to remove the icon from the desktop but I would likely delete Owner.
What are my options?
Thanks
Frank C

Hello Frank,

It sounds like you have User's Files checked in OPTION ONE of the tutorial below. Unchecking it, and clicking on OK should remove it for you.

Desktop Icons - Add or Remove - Windows 7 Forums

Hope this helps,
