[QUOTE="toMACsh, post: 1034281, member: 112842"] If deleting those login items doesn't help, go get the discs! First, you could try replacing the Desktop's plist file, although it might not be the culprit, it won't hurt to try it. The path to it is: HD/Users/[I]YourUserName[/I]/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist Place the file on the Desktop, if you can. Place it in the Trash if that fails. Restart the computer. This will make a "fresh" default plist file in the original location. It's safe to empty the Trash, but you can get that file out and put it back if you don't want to reset customized preferences, if you had any. Of course, if that fixes the problem, you don't want that old file anyway. [/QUOTE]
