When I install an updated version of Java Load, various notepad icons appears on my desktop. I uninstalled Java but I am still unable to clean my desktop. I am using Windows XP Professional SP3. What do I need to do? I will appreciate the person who assists me in this matter. Thanks.
            I had the same situation but not with the same software that you installed, I don’t know what I did but I encounter also the same problem with you that all of my computer program icons turn into notepad. I search the Internet but my problem not solved. The solution that I did to resolve this one is to create another account. I created another account to my computer and I transferred all files that in my old account that have a problem to my new account. I solved the problem. No notepad icons. Hope this helps you about your problem.
You may have made duplicates of the notepad icons by mistake, and I will suggest that you do the following to remove them from the desktop:
But in case the icons are appearing on the desktop for some other reason like being duplicated by a virus that has invaded your computer, then you will need to run a full virus scan on the system to remove the virus or malware that is causing that problem to occur.

Thank you Clair Charles. I deleted the notes on my desktop and also scanned my computer to be safe. The anti-virus found some suspicious detections. Many thanks! Thank you TechyV!
