My sister's pc desktop has developed a syndrome. The icons all start =

Yes, Terrie, this is the right place.  But make sure your subject-heading
reflects the problem for which you are seeking an answer, otherwise people
may bypass it.

Sounds like a virus.  Is your sister's Antivirus program right up to
date?  Run a full virus check.

Or she may have downloaded (or someone has sent her) a prank file, there
are several that make your desktop go all funny---if so, hitting the Esc
key will usually turn it off.  Check the startup programs (run msconfig) to
make sure it's not running at startup.
