what is this icon and how to get rid of it

Question

I'm in Visual Studio 2008 editor and I somehow managed to place an icon in the debug column that I have no earthly idea what it is or how to remove it?

Answer 1

This is a task list shortcut that are added by going (Edit -> Bookmarks -> Add Task List Shortcut). Remove it by going to line the arrow is on and going (Edit -> Bookmarks -> Remove Task List Shortcut). That should be all that needs to be done.

Answer 2

This icon is task linked to this place. Ctrl W + T will show all tasks. Remove that task shortcut.
