Re: Folder pictures changing...

I've looked at all of the tech sites and find nothing on this. Also, I ran
MS' Windows Defender and then Webroot's Spy Sweeper and neither of them
found anything.

Anyone else have any ideas on this?

i had the same problem 16 months ago i had a trojen-put a new hard drive in
-6 months ago i reolized that this folder of the same picture 100s of the
same one kept reinventing itself every few months. I looked through
microsoft
for tech testing new programs-
i found one that searches deep into your hard drive-used it & now its
gone,sorry i cant remember the name of it.A friend told me this pic was
probably in my ram.i did delete this program after use so i wouldnt use it
at
ever hickup .
this is just a suggestion.

Hi. I think my system may be haunted. In addition to having to run the
"TaskPanelFix" applet fairly often to get the properties back to where
they
are supposed to be, I also find that my folder pictures are getting
changed.
In some cases, a new image file (its always the same file) appears in a
folder and it becomes the one displayed. I can delete it and
re-establish
the default or another picture but at some indeterminate point in the
future
it will magically reappear.

Any idea what's causing this and what I can do to stop it from happening?

Thanks in advance,

Howard
