most of the items on my desktop now have little flags covering them, flags are 4 coloured blue,red,yellow,green Also normal folders now show their icon as a *.dat file icon All of the shortcuts / files effected still work fine I have done a full sys scan with norton antivirus which is up 2 date, also ran registry checker, pc bug doctor, ad-aware 6, and scan disc, none of these have helped in any way. I have been trawling the net, forums etc.. nearly all day and can find nothing........ help...... any one got any ideas, will be greatly appreciated Andy

Maybe someone will come up with an answer, but in the mean time. Have you tried booting the system in to Safe Mode and see it they still apear there? If not, they might be gone when you boot back into normal mode.
