at odd times different Desktops appear, so I did a search for Desktop and found 375 !! Admittedly many of these were ".ini"s, but also included (with \Desktop" being the last in each path) were "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator", ditto ".....\All Users" ditto ".....\Default User", ditto ".....\R.M.B.White", ditto "........\User" "C:\Docs and Settings\R.M.B.White\My Documents\MY DOCUMENTS\Drive(C)\Docs and Settings\User" "C:\WINDOWS\System32\config\systemprofile" "E:\My Documents\Drive (C)\Docs and settings\User" "F\ " QUESTION: Will the real Desktop please stand UP !
