| | inactivated Desktop hidden icons  Hi,I am using the desktop hidden icons feature. On the toolbar I can click on the double "More than sign" and see the listing of the icons. However,when I click on one, the only thing that happens is the list disappears. This just started happening today. Any suggestions? K2N |

I noticed this when I started installing the drivers, and immediately after switching to 'High Performance Mode' the icons came back!! ...and I have to untick show desktop icons twice for them to hide, but they came back after a reboot anyway.  I almost give up with the icons as the Power4Gear thing is handy to me as it controls the CPU clock and stuff so I don't have to DIM (do it myself<--DIY lol). I just figured this out accidentally on my other Asus laptop. So, a try for looking at the advanced power plan settings in Control Panel might be worthwhile. For l0w33ji, this might solve the problem caused when connecting/disconnecting the power cable, as Power4Gear automatically disable/enable certain features to conserve energy; including battery saving desktop, hide gadget and certainly desktop icons... I agree with Zardoc, "Laptops, full of useless toys", implicitly. Thank you for posting back with your findings and results.  |

K2N Which option did you use to set the icons to be hidden on the desktop? Is this happening in the "Desktop" toolbar? For now, see if restarting the computer may help. |

| |  It works fine now after the computer was off for several hours. Go figure. The toolbar did work before. Now, as far as I know, all is well.Thanks Brink. Enjoy the World Series! RNT |
