How can I remove this silly icon from the desktop?

TweakUI (which can be downloaded free of charge from www.microsoft.com) should be able to remove it for you.

Delete this key from the Registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Desktop\\NameSpace\\{A5110426-177D-4e08-AB3F-785F10B4439C}]
