  I 
  tried that, but I cannot find the file in DOS.  It has been a 
  while.  Is there a search command in DOS?  Or do you know where the 
  desktop directory is located?  Thanks for the 
  suggestion.

    You can delete anything in DOS even if it is being used

      Try going to the directory Windows\Desktop and 
      deleting the shortcut.

        Problem
        
        
        I have a shortcut icon on my windows desktop that I created when I 
        went to the Andrews Pitchfork Primer webpage. When I right clicked on 
        the web site to create the shortcut it created an incredibly long string 
        of text as the description that appears when you highlight the desktop 
        icon.
        Now I cannot delete it. When I try to delete it I get an error 
        message "Cannot delete file. The filename you specified is invalid or 
        too long. Specify a different filename."
        If I right click on the link I do not get the normal menu. I don't 
        get anything.
        Any suggestions as to how this can be removed will be greatly 
        appreciated.
        Bill
