If you are using sbc yahoo browser it will show the icon for yahoo, which I think is a whale or some kind of fish.  If you are using internet explorer it will show the "e" icon.  Whichever browser you choose as default is the icon that will appear.\n\nHope that helps.

well my friend... the best way would be to right click on your desktop -> go on "arrange icons by" then from the sub menu check or uncheck "Show desktop icons"...i guess this is the best way to do it... good luck ;)

Try right-clicking on it in various places and see if a frame with a little "x" in the corner pops up.  If it does, left click on the x and the Yahoo should go away.

You have Active Desktop enabled - easy fix.\n\nRight-click on your desktop, hover on "arrange Icons by" - when the next context menu opens, deselect "lock web items on desktop"... problem solved.
