My desktop is broken :) fkosmakos 12/29/2008 4:50:00 AM I foolishly downloaded 70 photos onto my desktop. I immediately created a folder, Pictures, and placed the photos into the new Pictures folder. this works fine until I reboot. When I reboots, the photos are out of the folder and back on the desk top. If I right click onto 'my computer' and hit restore desktop, the photos go back into the folder. However, interestingly, If I open up Windows Explorer, even though the photos are in the folder, they appear in Windows Explorer as if they were on my desktop. this is not life or death; just confusing as hell Windows XP home, 1 gig ram and hd
