Windows XP >> appearing icon Sometimes after working with various programs an icon
appears on my desktop. It's a generic icon with a half of
an infinity symbol. Any idea where this comes from and
what to do with it?

Sounds like a tilde. Same character that is to the right of the 1 key on
the keyboard? The file is a copy of your OE address book. Normally this is
created in the same folder as the *.wab file but due to one of the Windows
updates it shows up on the desktop instead. Just delete the file. Your real
address book is safe.
