When I try to delete a shortcut from my desktop, the window saying, "moving one item to recycling bin" comes up but it never completes the deletion. When I try to cancel it, the window doesn't go away until I restart my computer. I appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thanks.

Perform a clean boot and see if the issue persist.



Hit the start button then type Msconfig.
Then under the start up tab disable/un-tick all items.Hit Apply
Under the Services Tab put a tick next to the box that says Hide all microsoft services.
Un-tick all that remain.Hit Apply and Ok your way out of there.
Then reboot the machine,into normal mode and see how it responds from there.
Let me know the outcome then I post with instructions that are most relevant to your situation.
