    Search Result Icon/Folder

    A folder called 'Search Result' had suddenly appeared on my desktop.

    When uou double click on it it shows everything on my desktop but in duplicate.

    When you right click it is goves the option of, Open, Explore or make Shortcut but not one to delete it.

    Does anyone know how to get rid of it?

    Thanks,

    Alan

    Have you got any search tools installed like Google Desktop Search? Something like that may have created it.

    Thanks for the quick replies guys, but I have managed to track it down to a Graphic Viewer that is used for Clip Art viewing...I think it got left behind when it crashed out.

    It could be spyware, have you ran adaware or something to that nature?
