| | I must admit it never occurred to me to put a shortcut to my desktop on my desktop. I most likely will not. It sounds like something Mobius would do. Edit: Oops!... there is the icone in my quicklaunch bar which I use... forgot that one... but anyway it's a … |

| | Does your sys have KB2859537? If so, you could try uninstalling it; it came out on 15 Aug 2013. Find it in Windows folder with hidden files showing, and tunnel down to its spuninst.exe file, dclick that, or via CP/Programs. If no change then just reinstall it via dl. |

| | If you're adjusting your volume with a keyboard button, then very likely the graph comes from the keyboard driver softwares. I have Realtek; if I adjust the sound using their icon I get a window with various sliders. If I use the keyboard buttons I get a bargraph [courtesy Logitech]. |
