| | Ghost icons on desktop I had some problems with a program, fiddled about with Vista, and ended up losing all my early restore points. Also, the ghost icons you get when you open a Word document stay on the desktop even when the documents are closed. (In fact, there's even a ghost icon labelled "Desktop" which is there before I open any program at all, just after a reboot.) How can I get rid of these ghost images? Thanks. |

"view hidden files" when you were fiddling. Just turn them off. Control Panel>Folder Options>View tab "Show hidden files and folders" (uncheck) Apply/OK out.
