Thank you Wesley and Gerry. While both your responses soudned promising (and
much more than I had so far) "fcoder" rang a bell, as I recall installing
their imageconverter software. Second, this machine is not a Dell (though my
other one is). So, I decided to try first simply uninstalling the
imageconverter, and lo and behold... everything works fine now! I now recall
also that imageconverter added options into the right click window. Why this
caused such a variety of problems ("windows"-E shorcut, any folder deletion,
and more) is surprising (and somewhat disconcerting) I thank you both for
your help and my wife thanks you more...

Best regards.
