Before you go looking at Excel to be at fault, clean up your hard drive so
you know it's not Windows: www.theofficeexperts.com/cleanyourpc.htm

Hi everyone,

I've programmed Excel 2000 using Visual Basic 6 (VBA), and one of my
functions
print some worksheets to a file. I used the Range.PrintOut method with
parameter
"PrintToFile:=True".

The problem I have is that whenever Excel prints some pages to file (it
will do so
successfully), my windows desktop icons all disappear. The task bar is
there and it works
fine. Right-clicking on the Desktop brings up the usual menu options, but
there are no icons.
For example, if I then right-click the desktop and choose to New-Folder,
the folder is created
(by using Windows Explorer to check) but it's icon doesn't applear on the
desktop.

I am using Windows 98 SE. I've searched Google thoroughly and to no avail.
Any help
would be appreciated.
