213086 2004-02-05 23:52:00 I have setup my desktop with renamed "My Documents", "My Computer", "My Network Places" & "Microsoft Outlook" icons.
However, recently they keep reverting to their default names every time I log out.
Any suggestions.

213089 2004-02-06 10:54:00 Originally, I right-clicked the icons & selected "Rename". R. Gavey (5150)
