Scarecrow Man Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 1. Sometimes (seems to be after switching users, and switching back) when I do a mouseover on the icons on my taskbar, the tooltip is displayed under the taskbar.2. Why is it that when I click arrange icons by name on my desktop, they are arranged by name, but they go from a-z and then from a-z again, starting a new set of sorting. Example, Nero then WS_FTP then Ad-aware then AVGkinda strange happenings, wonderd if anyone has a fix, or has seen this before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Elf Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 I've experienced problem 1 on my XP home system. It doesn't happen often but I don't do user switching at all. Next time it happens I'll make a note of what I was doing at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Regarding "problem" no.2, you will no doubt find the program list in "All programs" is separated into two alphabetic lists as well.Be careful not to get overly concerned with your computer for its own sake. Remember it is intended as a tool to do something with, not an end in itself to be looked at and admired - a sort of technological navel contemplation.

I understand it is a *known bug*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure exactly, still looking.2. Because, some of the icons were in the "All Users/Desktop" folder and some were in "user/Desktop" Thus, making two seperate alphabetical lists! So they are right, but there is two seperate lists. Known issue, or just windows flaw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
