    Winxp program icon
    Hi,

    I have encountered on several occasions when there is this '~' icon been created on my desktop for no reason. Usually it is created after I've run a few programs, which I can't pin point to. This particular shortcut/icon created does not d anything, at first I suspected it was created by a virus or something. Usually I will delete it from the desktop. But from time to time, without knowing the same icon will be created on my desktop again.

    Anyone have the same problem? Please advice. I am using Winxp Pro with all updated enforced. I have lots of programs installed and a few games also. :-/
