Right Click on it > and then press Delete.

With the man who takes me from my horse, and leads me to a bar."
The man who took her off her steed, and stood her to a beer,
Were a bleary-eyed Surveyor and a DRUNKEN ENGINEER.

I have tried that. The only choices I have is Open, Explore, Add a Bluetooth Devices and Create Short Cut. I didn't have this problem with my T41P but can't find away on the T60P.

Any other idea?

Install Microsoft TweakUI for windows XP and there you 'll find an option to remove it (under desktop):
http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... ySetup.exe
Now: T60 2613-EKU | T23 2647-9NU | 600X 2645-9FU | HP 100LX
Past: X31 2673-Y13 | T41 2374-3HU | T22 2647-AEU

Rules of the road :thumbs-UP:

Sepehr, I hope other members post has helped you. However my T60 does this when I right click on the "My Bluetooth Places", that's strange.

You can remove the icon without having to download tweakUI, although it is a nice little program to have on hand for other reasons. Right click on the desktop to bring up Display Properties. Go to the Desktop tab and then Customize Desktop. From there you can run the Desktop Cleanup Wizard. Just uncheck everything but My Bluetooth Places. You will have a folder on you desktop with the unused icon, which you can then delete.
