Browse to the desktop folder in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Desktop and should be able to remove it from there

Only other thing I can think of is that you've added something to the "Active Desktop".

You can check this by going to Display Properties->Desktop->Customize Desktop->Web

Mine has everthing unticked
