Re: Desktop icons not responding

Event log doesn't tell me anything. No error messages. Mouse does not function on the desktop at all, so, right mouse click on the desktop doesn't do anything. But if I open any application, it will work within those applications....

Interesting.  Just for grins: what happens when you right-click the "desktop?"  What is the wallpaper or background right now?

Hello, I am having an interesting problem on NT 4.0 SP6a machine. I can
not click icons on the desktop using the mouse. I can tap trough using
keyboard and access them, but mouse click doesn't work. I can, however,
use mouse clicks on Start menus. Mouse click just would not work on
desktop icons. Also, it won't work on newly created icons, neither.
Anyone seen this behavior before??

Thanks.
Myung
