*Clarification of Problem Above*
I want to make clear that what I did was to make a folder on the desktop,
put some notepad info in it, gave it an icon face by right
clicking>customize button>change icon button and then I right click drag
copied it into another large folder on my desktop which I do all the time
without this result, and at that point the original on the desktop lost the
contents (it's empty) and also its icon face I made by right
clicking>"change icon" disappeared, but everything is intact with the copied
folder. I can't get rid of, move, or delete the original on the desktop
though from anyplace desktop>explorer>C:\Documents and Settings\User
Name|Desktop (the places I consider to be the source.
TIA,
Chad Harris
