accidental creation of active desktop item from Word

S

Scottish Lyle

I recently dragged a jpg out of a Word file onto my desktop, thinking to save
it.
Got a dialog box asking me if I wanted to save it as a live desktop item,
and I foolishly answered "yes", thinking that a dead desktop item would not
be a good thing to have.

Now I cannot remove it. I am running Window XP. It does not show anything
about active desktop items in the menus discribed in the Help section on this.

The item now resides permanently in the form of a stripe with a small box
with a red X in it on the side of my desktop.

Anybody know how to get rid of it?
