Hi Garry, et al -
I seem to be having the same problem, but with Windows 2000. I click on desktop
folders - that have opened beautifully for over a year - and get the same screen
that comes up as if I'd clicked on "search" on the taskbar. This is new as of 2
days ago, so I may also have unknowingly changed something in preferences.
TIA everyone,
Joan
