Try this..Right CLick Start..Click properties..Then go to advanced..Under "my COmputer" CLick show as a menu.. Then Go back to start untick "show on the desktop" see if it goes away.. If not let me know if you have hijackthis, this is a program we can use to delete this icon on reboot.

Hi, try this application DelinvFile - Utility for Deleting Invalid Files and Folders
Just looked it up on google and it sounds like it just might work for you

Is that a GT390? yum..
EDIT: If cowburn's solution doesn't work. Hmm, what's even more confusing is it doesn't have an Icon, did it ever have a specific icon? I have a theory, during the repair install something went wrong and one of the 'core' windows icons from before got messed up. This is looking like a registry hack I think, if you're not comfortable with this tell me and I will create a video outlining exactly what you have to do.
