Try scanning your computer with an anti-virus, there are a few good ones online....

Also download ad-aware here It is one of the best spyware scanners around and its FREE!

Hope this helps

*kaybing27* · 21-02-2004

you cannot duplicate it but u can do this.....

Go to My Computer, double click your harddrive, then double click Documents and settings,choose your old user name, then double click desktopd most of the things that were on your old desktop will be there. So just highlight them all, right click and copy and then just paste them to your new desktop.

Hope this helps.....
