Sometimes when I click the "show desktop" icon, the icons on my desktop dont show up and appear as the "generic program" icon. It takes around 3 or 4 seconds for it to finally refresh and have the normal program icons. I have a fairly powerful computer, plenty of free space, I'm not running any programs at all, and I recently defragged my HD. Why is this happening? It's nothing critical but I'd like to know the reason for this, and maybe fix it if possible. Thanks.
