Item No. 195 (right column), click on "Restore Desktop Icons and

Install the registry fix, then reboot your computer.

Arrrrrrrr!there is something WRONG!! it didn't work. the
system kind of hangs at start up then begrudgingly let's
go of the welcome screen to my background desktop w/out
icons or start buttons. even ctrl alt del, task manager
will stall and then fail to run. close it out, not
responding, open another task manager to close the first
one and then go to safe mode to do something. this all
started with a few too quick clicks to close a scan
operation.
