When I create an icon for a short cut on my desktop, why does it always include a separate icon for the files as well?
When I am trying to create a link to a webpage, I "save as" to my desktop, and the icon for the webpage appears. However, it also creates another icon that says the same thing but is a yellow manilla file folder. It clutters up the desktop. Is there a way of creating links without this? If I delete the file folder icon, it deletes the link as well.

That's not a shortcut you are creating with "save as", you are saving a copy of the webpage to your desktop - hence the folder with files for that webpage.
