Guest RJK Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 (I've been Googling but, today is not my Google day !) ....after working in Adobe Photoshop and sometimes other programs. Even after a fresh restart, then using Adobe to work on a photo or two, ...when I quit Adobe, it exits fast enough but, Desktop takes ages to refresh, i.e. 10 or 15 icons takes ages to turn from like a plain postage stamp to their proper little graphic. Any idea where I can rummage to tweak this, or is it just the norm. ? regards, Richard
