left hand side of every window) after restarting. I right
click, to property trying to fix up the issue under where
it saids Desktop, but eventually doesnt work.

i have check the regestry data
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00021400-0000-0000-C000-
000000000046}\shellex\ExtShellFolderViews\{5984FFE0-28D4-
11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262}\PersistMoniker
and it should read: file://%userappdata%
\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Desktop.htt
but it didnt work

the ATTRIBUTE on the right hand said but the DATA read
00 00 00 20. what is the problem n how i can fix that?

the MS default ones) on the desktop and those ones on the
lower part of the START part, do NOT response no matter
how many times i double click.
