Quicklaunch area:
Please remove the following items from your start quick launch area text to the "Start" button in the taskbar at the bottom.
To check where they are pointing to, right-click them and choose "Properties" from the context menu appearing.
Quicklaunch symbols named "iLivid.lnk" and pointing to "<$LOCALAPPDATA>\iLivid\iLivid.exe".

You will have to use a global search for files without a name specified. Be extra careful, because just the name might not be enough to identify files!
