There was already a thread on this issue but it seems to have disappeared.  Even when I changed my default browser from Epic back to IE the desktop icon still pops up.  Haven't been able to determine what triggers it as it doesn't happen at boot-up or when you start a browser or close it.  It seems whenever I have a window full-screen for a while ... when I close it there is the Epic desktop icon again.

I'm having the same desktop icon problem.  It keeps showing up but I haven't been able to figure out what triggers it.  It doesn't show up on boot-up.  It doesn't show up when starting or closing the Epic browser.  I'll just be working on my computer for a while and then when I close or minimize a window there it is again - so I delete it again.  I also like to keep my desktop clean except for temporary files so it's kinda annoying.  I'll continue to watch this space for a fix.

I have Norton 360 so I went to the Startup Manager and disabled the "Epic Update" (EpicUpdate.exe) in the startup but that made no difference.  The desktop icon still showed up.

My system:  Dell Inspiron 530, quad CPU 240GHz, 6GB RAM, running Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2.  The Epic Browser is my default browser - maybe I'll change it back to the old browser for a while and see if the desktop icon still pops up.  If that has an effect I'll report back.
