You run it only when you need to, not all the time. -- Ken |

But, if you tell DesktopOK to save every so often, is is somehow running in the background. If I tell is to only save on request, in my case, with 2 people using the PC, I might miss something. |

But, if you tell DesktopOK to save every so often, is is somehow running in the background. OK, but it's hard to imagine that even if was running all the time it would use a significant amount of resources. Even that way, it wouldn't slow Windows down a measurable amount. Many people are concerned about how *many* background programs are running. That's the wrong thing to worry about. You should be concerned with *what* background programs are running; some slow Windows down significantly, others not at all. If I tell is to only save on request, in my case, with 2 people using the PC, I might miss something. OK. I'm the only one one who uses my computer. My wife has her own. But if you're worried about its running in the background even though I think you shouldn't be, alternatively you could request it to save first thing every morning. It takes next to no time at all to do that. -- Ken |

I have seen this problem since Win 98+- and through all the machines and versions I have had, never had this problem. To me that equals user screws up some how. My only idea is user is using some program that plays with the desktop somehow. KenW I find that you only need a clumsy operator to facilitate casting your desktop icons to new places on the screen. Try clicking on a desktop icon and then hold the "Ctrl" key down while you roll the mouse wheel to enlarge the icons. You can create interesting effects with where your desktop icons get moved to. Fortunately, rolling the mouse wheel in the reverse direction will restore the icons to their original size and position. I have to train my finger to operate more slowly than my brain !! |
