try it yourself, like i did as a result of this thread. it would only delete the shortcut to my computer, just like when you delete your shortcut to word or whatever applications you have on your desktop.

It just deletes the icon. All those icons tell your computer where the directory of that folder and information are. You don't cause any permanent damage by deleting that icon because it's just a shortcut.

I did, around 5 years ago. My Computer was getting old and the parts were useless so I just put it in the Recycle bin that accepted PC's in town.

Your computer manifests into a human being who wreaks havoc upon this world, then silently returns to the universe from which it came.

I laughed at this. Anyways, you can't put your computer in the recycle bin, you usually need to pay a fee first..

Try it and see? I'm sure it just deletes the shortcut, unless you mean a different way, then I don't think your computer would let you.

It deletes the icon, but for Vista, at least, you can restore it through preferences options...
