    Thumbs down How to get rid of the Myspace shortcut URL installed without permission in desktop?

    Open URL: https://myspace.com/ That is what this shortcut says. and it was installed without my permission in my desktop.
    I do not want that thing in my desktop and neither in my eyes. They deleted all private messages, etc, etc without a simple warning.
    So, they installed it also without my consent!

    How can I get rid of that thing?

    Please, somebody show me the method or steops for.

    Thank you

    ALT + RIGHT-CLICK should let you delete it.

    Hold down the ALT key and then click with the right mouse button.

    If that doesn't work try holding down the ALT key and the SUPER key and clicking with the right mouse button.

    The SUPER key is the one which probably has the Windows logo on it.

    Now we did it! I removed that freaking thing that thousands hate since 2 nights.
    It only worked with the SUPER.

    I did not know how was the SUPER key (the one with the Window logo) until now


    Thank you for your explanation and faith on me. Have a good day
