When I use TT Deluxe an unwanted shortcut to my personal tax files pops up on my desktop. I want to only access my tax file from the TT shortcut. What setting do I use?

Answer didn't address problem. I can get rid of the unwanted desktop icon that pops up by selecting properties and checking hidden but as soon as I use TT Deluxe again the unwanted icon (a direct link to my personal tax file) reappears, sometimes more than one icon!! I want to use only the TT icon and select my tax return file from the file header.
