Thanks for trying. I had already spotted that suggestion in another message in this
Forum, and had tried it. Sadly, it doesn't work. I tried it a couple of different
ways: by typing "Explorer" and "Explorer.exe" directly, and also by selecting the
Windows Explorer item from the list of icons in my Desktop folder. The Hewlett Packard
help desk (it's an HP laptop) suggested running chkdsk in /R mode. Their instructions
on how to do this didn't work, but I was able to figure it out. I ran chkdsk in /R
mode by setting it up in Task Manager and then rebooting. That didn't help either.
Can anyone make other suggestions? Thanks! --JA
