the 'unknown program' (icons that you may see if your computer cannot find a
suitable program) to run files are just in front of my program icons. i can
barely see them. now im limited to differenciating programs by their names on
the desktop.

Re: desktop icons covered by unknown program icons

Have you tried sorting the icons on your desktops? Right click > View > Auto
Arrange?

I don't smoke!!!!
You post is VERY vague.
Click on the top of the Window that opens with the listed different programs
in it, and move it to one side!

Re: desktop icons covered by unknown program icons

ok, it worked for about half a second. then this silly thumbnail pic covers
the whole program icon again.(same as before). hope this time my explanation
was better, sorry.
