Now that Eric is saying that, I remember an issue with, I think, File
Exchange, where you had to do something with enabling/disabling
extensions, then rebuild the desktop, then re-activate extensions and
restart. I unfortunately don't remember the specific. I think you had to
boot with all extensions off, except File Exchange, rebuild the desktop,
and restart with all extensions enabled again. Does that ring a bell
with someone?
Note that there is no guarantee that this will fix the problem...
