    This is the first time this has happened to me, I installed the cyberlink youcam software, i downloaded it from my hive to my m15x and no matter how many times I delete it from the desktop, when I reboot my computer, the icon is there again!

    it's a zombie icon - you can't kill it!

    joking aside, i've experienced this as well. basically, now you've got two options:

    1) get to live with the icon on your desktop.
    2) ask findvikas how to change the registry to stop this from happening.

    hit msconfig in search
    go to startup and disable startmen application
    restart your pc and delete the icon
