The easier way if to right click the offending icon and hit delete. You can do this to My Computer/Documents, Network Places, and Internet Explorer.

I don't really want to find out, but what happens when you do it that way and tomorrow you want to put it back. I believe that would be problem. So if you follow my steps listed above, you can turn it on or off at will.

When you do it my way it tells you how to put them back on the desktop using the Display Properties > Desktop > Icons.

It's not any different just a bit faster.
