Desktop Shortcut

What would be the cause for a continuous shortcut to my "Desktop" in the Start Menu under all Applications? I delete it and it goes away i restart and it's back. Is this some form of MALWARE or anything? I noticed it after i did a SP2 Update i had on an AIO disk. hasn't happened before. Maybe that SP had something bad in it? I've tried all my upkeep programs all come back negative... Any information would be helpful! Thanks in advance!

What is the name of the shortcut that keeps reappearing?

Well it's named " " when i select confirm delete. but it's a shortcut to the explorer.exe for the desktop... No other single icons appear on the startmenu only program folders.
