- TASKBAR & DESKTOP ICONS
- Posted by Paul Koukos on July 2nd, 2008
Hey all, all of a sudden every few hours, my Taskbar and the Desktop Icons
disappear.
The only thing I can see is my Background Color from HP.
Is there some kind of setting or fix for this.
The only way out is to control delete and restart. There are all the
programs still running in the background but I do not see them.
Thanks.

You may want to stop running the program that is blowing up explorer.
Are you running antivirus software? Have you checked for trojans or
other malware?

How can I figure out what program is doing it? I also use McAfee for my
antivirus.

Go into Safe Mode and run McAfee anti virus and see if it finds anything.
