Hi Clark:
This might help. First off, get the user with the problem to log on. Then,
go to the desktop, but do not highlight or select any of the icons because
otherwise your operations will affect the highlighted program. Hit the
application key, arrow up or down to "arrange icons"; right arrow, and then
up arrow once or twice until you find "use desktop clean-up wizzard" or
words to that effect.
Don't know if this will help, but its worth a shot.
John
