missing desktop icons

[AjPat]

After I ran CCleaner in windows 2000, I lost all my desktop shotcuts and folders. A real panic set in, but now I found out that only the screen resolution has changed. Once I went in the desktop properties and changed the screen resolution, all the shortcuts and folders were back. They never were deleted at all, like I originally thought.

Hi AjPat,

You are a terrific member of this forum.

This information can be used by many other members as a possible solution to their problem.

Was this the first time you have used CCleaner or was this just the first time this had occurred?

Many people would have just made the correction as you did and not thought any more about it.

You took the extra step to report your discovery.

All I can says is you are a highly valued member of this forum.

WELCOME TO THE FORUM!!!

Thank you very much,

P.S. We all know what that Panic feeling is like.You may save others from that feeling.
