I have reinstalled my PC with XP-SP2 and completed getting the updates from
Microsoft. When I open Explorer everything seems OK for a while, then the
desktop appears to 'refresh' and the left pane of Explorer suddenly produces
several Desktop icons at the top of the tree - some have the normal desktop
icon some have a folder icon - all are called 'Desktop'.
Once this has happened, the folder tree stops working properly. I can no
longer use the '+' on the tree to expand a folder, although double clicking
in the right hand pane will still do the trick. Weird.
If I close and reopen Explorer, everything is back to normal until the next
random 'refresh'.
I have tried formatting the system partition and going through the whole
reinstall process again but I get the same result. This problem has stumped
me! Has anyone come across it before please and if so, what is the
solution?
