Stupid "Quick Access" shortcut on my desktop
I disabled Quick Access via WinAero and now there's a stupid "shortcut" to it I can't delete on my desktop. How do I get rid of it?

I'd say undo whatever WinAero did, and see if this below may work better. If you need to, you could do a system restore using a restore point dated before you applied the WinAero method.

I had this issue about a year ago after I used a tweak to remove Quick Access from Windows Explorer. The "fix" for this issue was stupid simple, but I cannot remember what I did. I do remember that it involved right clicking on the Desktop, but from there I do not know what I did (maybe Refresh). I no longer use the tweak and so I have not seen this issue recently.
Winaero Tweaker should have a 'restore to default' or 'undo changes' or whatever it's called feature, probably in the Menu
Did you try
- Control Panel (Icon view)
- Personalization
- Change desktop icons (on the left)
- Un-tick Computer
- Apply
- OK
Good luck :)
That was the first thing I did before disabling it. The icon still keeps randomly appearing and disappearing. Nothing makes it die permanently.
