Not sure when it changed , i dont get on pc every day, as i work and the
teenage darlings i have are on it most of the time, it was one day a few
weeks ago i noticed it looked different,its not affecting the performance of
the pc, but we have a lot of programmes in the list , and i used to look for
the icon of the one i wanted as it was easier than going down the list, i do
know how to use sytem restore but i wouldnt know how long to go back and dont
want to change anything else, my friend was telling me hers is the same ,
dont know if updates may have done it. thanks for your help
