My icons on my desktop stay permanantly highlighted for some reason. I ran spybot, NAV, Adware, and Pest Patrol and cleaned up a few spyware and adware programs, but nothing seems to help out the icon situation.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've deleted an icon for a folder on my Windows XP Professional desktop at least 10 times, probably more over the last year. It re-appears at random and is empty. I tried deleting it from Command, but it said the folder didn't exist, however "dir" said it did. I'm really lost here as to how to make this icon go away.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just recently deleted a folder that i wasn't supposed to delete inside my EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. Inside that folder were 2 other very important sub folders. It was over 8 gigs so when i deleted it, i unfortunately commited the same mistake of pressing the "yes" button again when it asked the files to bypass the recycling bin being permanently deleted from the computer. In fact it happened so fast it seemed like it vaporized. It was hard to believe that over 8 gigs of files were eliminated that fast, whereas usually any big file i would delete would normally take a while for the computer to process
