Hi guys,

I found the cause of the misteriously disappearing Windows 7 desktop icons and the reason why Show desktop icons now and then gets unchecked.

It’s INFRARECORDER !! Try for yourselves, when you start Infrarecorder and close it again, go have a look at “Show desktop icons”, it is unchecked (but the icons are still there). Check it on again and start Infrarecorder…. it is unchecked again.

This Windows 7 “bug” is irritating me since the beginning and now I found the cause: It’s Infrarecorder which is causing this problem.

Test it, please let me know and spread the news.

Wat if task manager won’t even come up in order to try these methods? I can’t even get it to start in safe mode!

My issue occurred immediately after upgrading to Office 2007 in XP Pro. All security measures are taken. I also lose sight of the icons in the status/menu bars
