Joe,
That was the first thing that I did. I had this happen once before and can't remember what I did to get it back. I could use System Restore but I don't use that computer much and it's last restore point was over a month ago which means I would then have to sit while it updated my virus and any other later updates such as Windows. Everything works great, the icons just stay in sight like they used to on Windows 95/98, so it isn't worth the bother.
Bill, I am firmly attached to the keyboard. Not even using a wireless one.
