I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1. Recently, my desktop icons have stopped enhancing after startup. When my startup begins, they loook normal, enhance and are clickable, but once startup is complete my desktop is useless, the icons won't right or left click and they look like text files. I can use files from the start prompt and all files there act normally. Thanks!
