Part of Desktop "unusable"
Hi all,
It's been a while since I posted on the forum. This is a good thing in a way, I guess, because it means all is running well. Up until recently . . .
I'm not sure when this started happening, but occasionally when I start up my PC several of the desktop icons have moved. Specifically from the top left position, every icon is the left column has been shifted down 1 position.
The *really* annoying thing is that I am not able to move them back. Windows will not allow me to put any icon in the very top left position. As I drag an icon it changes to a symbol (circle with a diagonal line diagonally thru it) and when I release the mouse button the icon goes back to where it was.
This is very frustrating! I tried using auto-arrange and this did position an icon top left, but I prefer my icons in a specific order. Intrestingly I can position a desktop gadget in the top left!
Any ideas and suggestions would be welcome.
BTW i've updated graphics drivers and Norton 2011 IS reports no viruses or other nasties.
