[Guest john339]

When I left click on my desktop icons they do not light up.

When I restart the system sometimes they will work OK sometime they will

still not work.

Run disk clean up and defrag in safe mode and see if that will help to

resolve the issue.

If still no joy try these fixes:

Thank you for the help.

I tried each item and still the same problem with the icons.

Very bothersome but I can work around the problem if it cannot be resolved.

Again, thank you for the help.
