I know what's going on here, and I'm going to get around it in a few minutes...but first...
for those of you running WinXP...
navigate over to your Windows\system32\ directory. Find sol.exe - that damn Solitaire game. Click on it. Hold down shift, and push delete. Confirm that you want to delete this God-forsaken game. Sit there and watch where that icon was for a few seconds.
The bastard comes back.
Die, MS, die. Solitaire is not an essential Windows program.
