They were originally attachments in Outlook Express (missing the .eml extension). I dragged them to the desktop to rename them w/ the proper .eml extension in hopes of being able to open them. But once on the desktop, I couldn't rename them or delete them. They don't appear in c:\documents and settings\user\desktop (from DOS [ex. dir /ahsr *.*]). Both icons are named something like this "Blah Blah........." (multiple periods at end of name). Any attempt to delete them and Windows says it can't find them. I wrote a VB program to create a new file system object and save the new file to the desktop (w/ same name as offending icon) in hopes that there would now be an icon and an associated file that I could delete, but no luck. Right clicking on the icons yields no info. of any use.
