Default Removing Control Panel Icon

I recently installed a game from WildTangent. It put an Icon on the
Control panel. I uninstalled the game. However it left the Icon on the
Control panel and I am not able to delete it. Any suggestions will be
greatly appreciated. Thanks ;-)

Uninstall all the Wild Tangent items listed in Control Panel Add\Remove Programs.

I did try that and the Icon still remains.

Look for wtcpl.cpl and delete it. It should be in the System folder.

Alan already got it for you.
After that, you may want to run either Ad-Aware or SpyBot Search and Destroy, and
remove all the Wild Tangent entries found, if any.
