    That is the icon for an Access locking file. A .lccdb file extension. It is a temporary file created by Access. It should go away when no one is using the .accdb file. But sometimes doesn't and usually this is not an issue.

    It is showing as a shortcut on your desktop? Never seen that happen. It should just show in Windows Explorer.
    How to attach file: http://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=70301 To provide db: copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip w/Windows Compression.

    LACCDB file is a Microsoft Access 2007/2010 Database Lock. When you open an Access 2007/2010 database, file locking is controlled by a locking file with the file name extension .laccdb.
    The .laccdb file corresponds to the .ldb locking file that is created when you open an earlier version Access (.mdb) file. Locking files are deleted automatically when all users close the database.
    .accdb creates this lock file in the same directroy/location (folder/desktop).
