Printers Icon on Desktop

Hi,

I'm running Vista on my laptop and have two accounts set up, one for me
and the other for my wife.

Somehow my wife's Desktop has an icon for the "Printers" applet where
one adds a new printer or removes a printer. This icon is an option for
the Start Menu and is normally contained in Control Panel.

I cannot delete or remove the Printers icon from the desktop. It doesn't
really hurt anything but I don't want it there.

Hi,
Look for the answer by Brink at

Note that you want delete the Printers namespace [registry] key- not the
bluetooth key.

Registry editing can cause serious problems if done incorrectly. Backup the
registry or create a Restore Point before making the edit.

Post back if additional details would help.

Hope this helps,
