Hi everyone!! I'm new here. My husband's laptop opens up all of the icons on his desktop as if he wanted to see everything at once. It may happen 1-3 times a day. He is running Windows xp with service pack 2, IE 6, not sure what else you may need. The icons that open up are my computer, documents, unused folders, recycle bin and anything else he has on his desktop. This is very bothersome because we have to close down every window that opens so that we can continue with what we are doing. All scans show nothing is infected on his computer. He has an antivirus running(in protected mode as well), windows defender running and he updates daily on everything. Please help.
