Answer 5

actually, a copy of them already exist in your start menu...deleting them wont affect your start menu in any way, the programs will still be there...but if you still wanna keep your icons but hide them, you can right click on the desktop, point at view, and click show icons so that the checkbox next to it is unchecked...atleast thats how you do it in vista...and dont listen to that guy NIL N or sumthin, his advice is c**p...

Answer 6

Just delete them, it doesn't mean their gone forever, you can always create a new short cut by going to all programs via start menu > you can drag and drop or copy and paste the program onto the desktop.
