recycle bin icon covering other icons

Expand Post »
I have a windows 2000 pc and all the icons are covered up by recycle bin icons. I ran ewido,adaware, spybot s&d and avg they found nothing.
sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but it doesn't appear to be a virus to me since all the scans came up with nothing. any ideas?

Re: recycle bin icon covering other icons

it opens the programs that are under the recycle bin, but its hard to make out the icons under the recycle bin icons.

Re: recycle bin icon covering other icons

When you say under the recycle bin, do you mean they are the recycle bin icon.

In xp, if you right click on the icon there is an option to restore default icon. Does such a thing exist in 2000?

Re: recycle bin icon covering other icons

if they are simply under it, then right click on the desktop and do arrange icons by -> auto arrange

if that doesnt work then you may need to rebuild you icon cache (ise tweakui for this)
