Icons on desktop don't work
We have an older Windows ME system that has been working just fine until lately. All of a sudden, no icons on the desktop work. Nothing happens if you either right- or left-click on them, and you can't move or delete them. Everything is just locked up. So if the user wants to open a program by clicking on a desktop icon, she can't; instead, she has to click on Start and manually select the program via the Start Menu. We've tried copying shortcuts from the Start menu to the desktop (to replace "broken" shortcuts), but once they hit the desktop, they don't work either! Any ideas what could be causing this weird behavior? I'm at a loss. |
