At a minimum, how to remove registry icons from home screen?
I would be careful. I thought there was only one registry on the system and messing with it could cause real problems.

If you haven't already tried this, right click on the icon and select Properties. This should give you a better idea what the icon represents and what action it takes if you open it.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
