Blank Pager Icons in My Computer
I am getting some strange icons when I open My Computer. They are blank page
icons that have the top right corner turned down. Sometimes I get 3 of these icons, other times there are up to 7. They are not editable or selectable in any way (IE Right click, properties does nothing, double click does nothing). Here is a screenshot:  I cannot figure out when they started or what causes them to show up. Another wrinkle in this is that when I allow the system to show hidden files the number of these blank icons triples. I am using a Home Premium upgrade from XP Media Center Edition. I just want these dang things to go away. It sucks having to scroll down through a bunch of phantoms to get to my C drive.

Blank Pager Icons in My Computer
Have you been playing with the My Computer namespace? On my install, user
folders don't show under My Computer. -- Good Luck, Keith Microsoft MVP [Windows XP Shell/User] "Danny" wrote in message ... I am getting some strange icons when I open My Computer.

No, not that I am aware of. I'm not sure exactly what the My Computer
Namespace is. "Keith Miller MVP" wrote: Have you been playing with the My Computer namespace?

Blank Pager Icons in My Computer
I figured it out through a little bit of detective work.
In my users/HP_administrator folder there were a few random folders and pictures (I'm not sure how they came to be there) but when I reorganized by moving the contents of the folders and pictures into their respective places the icons went away.
