For some unknown reason, a couple of my desktop icons keep shrinking. When I started up my notebook this morning, AGAIN another icon shrunk. This happens even when I haven't started anything---I just signed on to Windows.

I've attached two jpg's. The first is a snapshot of my desktop icons before I signed on this morning, the second is after.

P.S. The icon come from the file located in C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll

Anyone else having this problem?

Yeah!

Shawn,

Thanks for your reply. I rebuilt the icon cache and it seems to have worked.

I am setting this as solved.

Again, thanks.
