John, I've never come across a situation where cutting and pasting files didn't work. Also, since most desktop items are shortcuts, you're not likely to lose the file anyway. Alex

Cutting as you have suggested might or might not work and if unsuccessful, would result in the icon being lost entirely. I'd like to suggest that the item be copied using Control C, pasted into the folder, verified as being active, then and only then, should the original icon be deleted.
