Hi: Today for the first time I noticed an icon partially hidden behind another desktop icon. When I dragged it into the open, it consists of a Red 'X' on white background. Nothing happens when I click on it. Can someone tell me what it is and more importantly how do I remove it? Thanks Mulli

Hi: After the above request was posted I continued searching this computer. Eventually 'right clicking' on the desktop allowed me to select 'Display Properties' and subsequently the 'WEB Tab' to see a 'temporary GIF' in that display box. When the 'temporary GIF' was 'highlighted' and 'deleted', the 'Red X Icon' disappeared. Mulli
