Mr Siamese Cat,
First, thank you for carefully reading my post and not putting words into my mouth such as "mouse creeping" which I never once mentioned. I will not repeat what I wrote because others can not focus on what I described, which always happens when I write posts on any forum. However, you made an excellent point. I first moved My Computer as you suggested, but left the upper left corner empty (no icon or shortcut). I warm booted, tried to rename a shortcut, but the mouse focused on My Computer again which was placed near the bottom right of my screen. I then cold booted but with the same result. I then went to the properties of the Desktop, Desktop tab, Cutomize Desktop, General tab, Desktop icons, and unchecked My Computer, OK, Apply, and rebooted (warm boot), but when I again tried to rename one of my shortcuts on the Desktop, the mouse focused on My Network Places. I then repeated the above steps and unchecked My Network Places and rebooted once again. This time the focus was placed on Recycle Bin which I (of course) can not and wll not remove. Thanks for the suggestion, but I will not add anything to my system which I am not 100% positve is safe. No offense, but I am 0% sure it is safe for me to download your file. It may be safe for you; but it may not be safe for me. I have placed one of my shortcuts where My Computer used to be in the top left corner, but the mouse does not change focus to that location. It appears the focus changes to Windows icons. I am now convinced a reinstall of Windows will fix the problem, but next time I will not be adding the same downloaded failed programs because I have documented their failures and am currently satisfied with what I have. Unless you have any suggestions regarding the new information I have given, I thank you very much for your help. If not, I will return the Windows icons and be satisfied with clicking on a blank area of the Desktop then renaming the desired file. I only do this once in a blue moon, so it will only be a slight annoyance when if becomes necessary.
Thanks again,
Rudy & Max (my cat).
