Midknyte, ----- I increased the folder size four times from its present size which should have provided more than enough space from its present size. The results were the same, reloading of the desktop icons. Thank you for your continued interest.

SpywareDr, Success, TaDa! Your New-Toolbar approach (Quick Launch) worked. Mine as given in Post #4 didn't - and after periodically trying to solve the problem for about a year - I don't care. So far, my system has responded well and any former icons that I put in the Toolbar folder are available with a couple of clicks. I still left the Computer icon and the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop and have not seen any delays from them. Thank you again for you help.
