All that disappeared was the desktop icon (shortcut) to FP
- Win XP has a "feature" to remove unused desktop icons periodically
(you can turn that off next time you are asked to remove unused icons)
- next time it disappears you can create a new one from Start All Program
(find FP and send it to your desktop as a shortcut)
