Windows 7 desktop has an advertising icon that can't be deleted

  

Usually, when I go online, I often encounter pop-up ads or ads in the lower right corner that imitate QQ notification messages. What's more, some software will have rogue stubborn icons on the desktop after installation. on. Trojans and adware contained in those software can be killed (often some rogues will modify and delete themselves), but there will still be some residual on the desktop, those files are very special, right click does not delete options, press "del" or "shift" +del" will not prompt for deletion.

What should I do?

In fact, in the XP era, you can use the "Desktop Cleanup Wizard", but this tool has not been available since the Vista era, so Vista and Windows7 systems can only use other methods.

Manually delete

Do it yourself, get enough food, here's how to do it:

Win key + R key to open the run window, then enter regedit, click OK to open the registry editor find

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /SOFTWARE /Microsoft Windows /CurrentVersion /Explorer /Desktop /NameSpace

right-click on the NameSpace, select "export", save the file to your desktop first REG

at which these items on the map, each user is different, there are several system comes, for example:

{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}

{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

............

we do not remove the top two, and some also can not be deleted, Because these items are different in each system, the next thing to do is to delete them.

Next, delete the items in the NameSpace one by one, and delete the name of each item before deleting one. After deleting one item, refresh it on the desktop. If after deleting {3D3DBDD2- DD4D-B157-4264-0B0D4DD6BD45} this one, and that several icons on the desktop is not the case, then use Notepad to edit the REG file you just exported, deleted inside

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /SOFTWARE /Microsoft /Windows /CurrentVersion /Explorer /Desktop /NameSpace /{3D3DBDD2-DD4D-B157-4264-0B0D4DD6BD45}]

@ = "xxxxxxxxxxxx" multi on

Desktop If you can't delete the icon, you need to delete more than one. Then save it and finally import it into the registry, which will solve the problem.
