Right click on the desktop and look in your Properties .
Somewhere in there (I'm not using Win98) is a check box that says hide desktop icons, and a web page or something like this
(ActiveDesktop I think).
Anyway - happy hunting.

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.
