    Hello Brainiacary,

    After you have checked the "Show Desktop Icons" option, save your current theme to see if that may help.

    Hope this helps,

    Another possiblity is Alcohol broke something in 7 - I'd uninstall it and use system restore to go back before it was installed.

    there seems to be an incompatibility between Virtual drive managers/CD burners and Windows 7. i've seen a few instances of the same symptoms.

    I had the same problem when i installed Infra Recorder and it was solved when i uninstalled it.
