[Ham-Computers] Items in Desktop Folder not seen on Desktop

[Loren Moline WA7SKT]

Hi Jim,

Have you tried removing the item from desktop folder and then recreating? 
Maybe they are like slid off the screen or maybe in the hidden mode. If you 
could access the properties of the desktop file maybe that will tell you 
something.

There are a number of applications seen in the Desktop folder that are not 
on the actual desktop.
If I attempt to drag an icon from the folder to the actual desktop, I'm told 
the source and destination files are the same.  Generating a shortcut in 
Start>All programs and attempting to move it doesn't work.

I think I inadvertently agreed to cleaning up desktop icons, but this option 
is currently off.  I also checked  auto-arrange to verify that option was 
not selected.

One application I'm attempting to place on the desktop is Explorer Plus, and 
enhanced Windows Explorer

I'm running XP standard version on an older Dell Inspiron notebook computer.

Thanks, Jim
