My icons would not open programs on my desktop and when I opened the control panel those icons would not open on click. I had to right click and use the open on the menu. I tried removing all start up activity except for the virus checker. I tried starting the computer up in safe mode both with the same result. I checked my other accounts and those worked fine so I added another account and deleted the account with problems. This is the second time I have had to change accounts. I am running XP. Any ideas what might cause this problem?
