XP shortcut to folder on Psion on desktop frozen

[PlutoPants]

I suppose this is more of an XP issue but I can't seem to find an answer due to the PsiWin link. Please read on....
With PsiWIn 233 on my XP Pro laptop, I have the 5MX all connected - everything's fine.
I accidentally have right-clicked a folder in the My Psion Window of PsiWin and clicked 'Create Shortcut'. This put a shortcut on my XP desktop.
However, I cannot delete this shortcut at all. (It doesn't work either). Instead when I select it or right-click it explorer hangs (at 99%CPU) and I have to use the task manager to end the task.
PsiWin works fine, and I've tried making sure the PsiWin is conencted before, during and after to no avail.
IOW I cannot delete a shortcut made to a folder on the Psion.
Anyone got any ideas?

I've solved ithis issue now by a bit of Poirot sleuthing.
Here's what I did:

In XP right-click desktop and go to properties.
Go to Desktop tab and clikc 'Customise desktop'.
Here, run the Desktop Cleanup Wizard and specify the pesky shortcut.
This removes the shortcut (without Explorer insisting on finding it's link) and puts it in a 'Removed Desktop SHortcuts' folder on the ...er...Desktop.
Delete this folder.

I found this out by chance asfter a bit of messing. Whether the inital problem was down to XP or PsiWin not playing ball I cannot say.

Any prizes for answering your own question, or even being the only member posting in one thread?

It's not much of a prize, but I thought I'd congratulate you for the no-small-feat of solving a Windows problem on your own.

I run WindowsME with a shortcut to a directory on my Mako on the desktop. With this, it's much faster than Explorer for drag-n-drop files.

I have not tried to remove the shortcut, but I have noticed that it defies renaming, and any attempt will freeze the machine, just as it did with yours.

But thanks for the tip for removing the shortcut; that'll come to good use for somebody soon.
