Hi woodguitar! Thank you very much for your tip. It has worked for me. The stupid icons started to annoy me two days ago. I tried and tried many ways to get them right. To no avail. And then you crossed my way. Now I can see ALL my icons again. What a great day! I am very grateful for your help. If you are interested in spending 2 weeks in Senegal (Africa) in a double room (you and a friend of yours) for free, please email me.
