Very much post discussed about it and many ways to remove it but here we will ‘play‘ our Windows registry :D, let’s begin;

1. Open your registry editor, you can do it from Start, type “regedit” (without “) in Search programs and file box like image below;
type regedit

2. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\piffile, and you will found IsShortcut registry string like image below;
piffile
rename it, you can rename it with your name, ex: IsShortcutBen;

3. Do same ‘playing’ with IsShortcut registry string from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile, rename it with your name :);

4. Log off or restart your computer and you will found your icon desktop looks clear 🙂 like below;
