Ok heres the deal. Everytime I open a window my desktop icons disappear. I have to right-click on the Taskbar and choose "Show the Desktop." Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi, Sorry to hear of the problem with the disappearing desktop icons. I suggest you try this, to start with: 1 Right-click any blank area of the Desktop 2 Choose Arrange Icons By 3 Select Show Desktop Icons (make sure there is a tick or checkmark immediately to the left of 3 above.) You will now need to wait for approximately 30 seconds and all being well your desktop Icons should be back. Regards paws
