Ongoing icons load on desk top

[indy irish]

Is this an item anyone can address? As you can tell my my awareness is limited. When I boot up the computer, these icons continue to load on my desktop and into "my favorites". Is there a simple solution?

When on line, my "home" icon will not retain the URL that I have programed.

Are these issures related?

Solutions please.

Download HijackThis from http://209.133.47.200/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe & unzip it into it's own, permanent folder, not a temporary one. Start HJT & press the scan button. When the scan is finished the scan button will change to save. Save the log to a text file & paste it into the body of your post. DO NOT FIX ANYTHING YET.
