    If you've deleted the yellow outlined icons yet the disappear from the Desktop when you reboot, then they were not really deleted. If they were then there would be nothing to disappear at reboot time.

    Can you explain more please?

    how are you putting those icons with the yellow boxes around them? as I see from your screen shots those are not shortcuts. can you put those somewhere else not on the deck top and then copy to the desktop as a short cut to see if they disappear again?

    Have you set Windows to show hidden files/show hidden protected files? If so when you restart Windows this setting may return to default which is to hide them
