Noel Paton had this to say:

All it takes is for one to get infected, and suddenly you have viruses
crawling out of every orifice!!


I'm not sure where nor when Noel but I am sure that there will eventually
be
a time and a place where comments like that are saved and etched in stone.
I
almost wet my pants. That could be because I'm getting older and perhaps
incontinent but truth be told it's really because it was just that funny.

Thanks again, Noel, for staying with me on this. I did start a post
yesterday to let you know what the latest was, but during my typing, the
mouse froze several times - and then unpaused ( typing is buffered during
this time but NO HDD activity , but on the fourth time, the pause lasted 20
minutes before I realize I had to hit the reset ( Ctrl -Alt -Del didn't
work). Of course, I wasn't in the mood to retype.
In a nutshell, there does seem to be a correlation between this symptom and
being connected to the net. I have observed that I can have absolutely no
throughput over the connection and still a pause can occur. I don't know if
I mentioned it, but my Ethernet card is from the dark ages. Although my
MxBoard has PCI, AGP and ISA slots, my modem, Ethernet and sound card are
ISA. Today, I uninstalled the Ethernet and connection software and
reinstalled them with USB drivers. I noticed a definite bandwidth loss and
the symptoms persisted.

I do want to figure this out but I think a reinstall is prudent
nevertheless. 'Been 2002 since I have had to done this so there's probably
loads of garbage. 'Couple of other quirky things I cannot figure out:
There is a desktop icon for WMP 9 series that reappears after I delete in on
every reboot.
Also, my Search function loads but when I enter a string it wont search. I
suspect that a recent upgrade to PowerDesk6 ( disk utility ) may have
something to do with this. Fortunately, it's search function is almost
identical and still functions.
Keep the advice coming,
Randy

I see you have TweakUI installed -check the following points.....

Note - there are a few cautions with TweakUI:-
1) Do *not* change the first icon from "My Documents" on the Desktop tab
2) Do *not* uncheck: Search Results on the Desktop tab
3) Do *not* hide the Tweak UI icon on the Control Panel tab
4) Do *not* uncheck: Show Control Panel on Start Menu on the IE tab
5) Do *not* uncheck: Shell enhancements on the IE tab
6) To move "My Documents" folder, right-click on the Folder, and click
Properties.
