I noticed several days ago when I had downloaded a file that it didn't show up on my desktop where I had saved it. I thought I maybe inadvertently saved it somewhere else, so I proceeded to download again, selected the Desktop as the save to location, and clicked Save.

"Do you want to overwrite the file?" I thought that was weird. It's there, but I can't see it. I went back to my desktop, hit F5 and ... BAM! It appeared.

So, I did a little searching and found that there is a Vista update for this. Knowledge Base Article 932406 "The Windows desktop may stop updating correctly after a Windows Vista-based computer has been running for an extended period of time" appeared.

Sure, I run my computer for extended periods of time, and my icons are AWOL. It seems to fit my scenario. So I downloaded it and installed. We'll see how things go after the reboot.

Here's the link to the knowledge base article.

Hey - nice blog, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I'm currently using Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.

Can I make a suggestion? I think youve got something good here. But what if you added a couple links to a page that backs up what youre saying? Or maybe you could give us something to look at, something that would connect what youre saying to something tangible? Just a suggestion.

Congratulations on having one of the most sophisticated blogs Ive come across in some time! Its just incredible how much you can take away from something simply because of how visually beautiful it is. Youve put together a great blog space --great graphics, videos, layout. This is definitely a must-see blog!
