I have a problem with some (not all) desktop icons responding to the mouse. When I right-click on the taskbar and choose "show the desktop", they all become live (active) until any one is selected, then some of the others will not respond until I "show the desktop" again. Also, one additional conundrum: Icons on the right side are not effected; only those on the left side. I should add that this is a touch screen, though not really utilized as such.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
