When I got home last night, I found that whenever I try to access my desktop icons, they move from beneath the mouse cursor. I think someone in the fanily must have downloaded something which is doing this. I used Control Alt Delete to delete the currently running programs and can not find what is doing this. When I get home I am going to look in the regisytry in the windows run once options to see if it is there. Has anyone heard of this program and know what it's name is? kind regards Marty	Guest (0)
