thanks,
I checked everything but after a restart the very top of the detached 'my
computer' box appeared in the bottom of the screen so I dragged it up and
closed it. Job done.

Hi,
When I have nothing running on my computer (XP PRo) and I open the
Windows Task Manager and look under Applications 'My Computer' is
running. If I End task it comes back again in about 5 seconds. I have
never seen this running on a computer under Applications before. Is it a
virus or spyware causing this?
Cheers
Lenny
The best way to answer the "is my computer virus/malware-free" question is
to do some scanning.
Go through these general malware removal steps systematically -
