Icons on desktop


Question Posted Thursday April 26 2007, 3:34 pm

When I turn my computer on and go onto the main account, the icons don't show up on my desktop. The start menu is there and the basic volume, aim, yahoo, virus scanner, etc. icons that are near the time, but the main icons are not. Its not a loading thing because it happened last night and today. We restarted and shut it down a few times, same problem. Our second account works perfectly fine and has the icons, but our main account does not. No one messed with it either. Did anyone have this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks!!

Right-click on the desktop. Go to "Arrange Icons By" and make sure that "Show Desktop Icons" has a check mark next to it.


Beyond that, I'm not sure what it could be. Probably a virus or spyware. If theymos doesn't answer this question (and he probably will) ask him directly to his inbox. He knows more about computers than most people.
