How Do I Remove a Startup Icon from my Desktop !! ?

I don't know how it got there. When I turned my conputer on today it was right in the middle of the screen. So I scanned it with my virus protection and Anti-spyware it said it was no threat. But when I try to delete it it says I can't that it is a system folder and windows can't run with out it. If I try to move it it just doubles its self. I can delete the doubles its making. This Is making me mad. How do I get it off my desktop?

please help!! and thank you!!

move it so that it makes a double, and then instead of deleting the double, delete the actual folder.
