1 The problem might be that Windows is seeing 2 icons with the same name and Windows don't like that. Change the name of the Icon to band in a box 2 or something similar.

2 If you right click properties on the icon that keeps disappearing make sure that you read and make a note of what drive it is due to start in and other settings in there, and keep a note of it just in case you need to use them again.

Apply both steps,

if all this fails just create a new folder on your desktop, copy (Please don't Use CUT) over the icon from your portable hard drive, rename it to band in a box 2 or biab, right click properties as described above and make sure the settings in properties are pointing towards your portable drive installation of band in a box.
