Good point about selecting an icon and hitting ENTER. I did that and nothing happens, 
just as with the shortcuts.

I've been so thorough in cleaning this machine, that I even deleted all the logs 
from Spybot. I remember there were 63 problems found, but nothing that comes to mind, 
and nothing that caused me to think they were really bad. I also used AdAware and 
I installed and ran Windows Defender. Additionally, I ran a full virus scan with 
Norton, updated to the most recent live update.

Thank you.
