When I click an icon to start a program, then later close the program
the icon name has always remained highlighted until I use another icon. For the past few days this no longer happens. The last used icon is no longer highlighted. Why is this? XP Home sp2 -- Gerald Ross Cochran, GA I always lie. In fact, I'm lying to you right now!

Why do you feel this is a problem?

Not a problem. I have several solitaire games and could tell which one
I played last if I ended one and left the computer for awhile and came back. Just a convenience I had gotten used to.

The so-called system caret shows the current position of the cursor on
the screen. It manifests in different ways; one of the ways is by highlighting an icon, which is what you see. It's hard to predict with assurance where the caret will be. You've had a run of good luck, where the caret has ended up in a convenient place for you, but there's no way to guarantee it will always be there. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Gerald Ross wrote: Not a problem.
