Why does XP have to regenerate the desktop after closing an application. Essentially, what happens ... say IE bombs out ... and I get the message asking if I want to send a report to MS.... I click on Don't Send.  The ICONS on the desktop change to a blank/generic then the whole screen regenetates with the correct application icons.


Any ideas ???

I can see this happening if IE crashes, because Windows Explorer and IE are essentially the same program.
