My wife, on her Vista machine, lost all her icons on the desktop. Any

like the idea of playing with her Vista machine.


That is the insidious "desktop cleanup" wizard.
Right click a blank spot on the desk top, click properties, then
desktop, then customize desktop and uncheck the cleanup wizard box.

I think your icons are gone tho.

I am not sure why Bill Gates decided we needed a clean desk top.
I had the same problem with IBM management. ;-)



I doubt it. I'll betcha someone simply unchecked the "Show Desktop
Icons" in the preferences for the Desktop. Right click on the desktop,
select "View" then make sure the "Show Desktop Icons" box is checked.


I think that wizard has to be invoked. Also it doesn't clear the
desktop. You are correct,,, again.
