Well, the %userprofile% is not going to work for you. I don't use Yahoo! Messenger, but is it stored in the "default user profile" of "all user profile"? Delete it from there.

it's saved here:

C:\Documents and Settings\Nakkoush\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Yahoo! Messenger.lnk

any help would be appreciated!

Well, perhaps that's where its saved AFTER you logon for the first time as "Nakkoush", but if you're installing all your stuff unattended, its more likely saved in the Default User. You should delete it there, and THEN login for the first time as Nakkoush.

Search here for more info about user profiles. Its been discussed endlessly.

i'm still not able to delete it yet...

What command are you using now?

[Martin Zugec]

Well, there are two locations where it could be - Default user or in registry StubPath...

To find out its current location(s), open the command prompt (Start > Run > cmd > OK) and paste in the following

dir "%UserProfile%\.." /s/a/b|findstr "\\*.Launch\\Yahoo.*lnk$" 2>nul
