View Full Version : "Show desktop" icon hijacked
Running Win98SE, upgraded/updated Spybot free to 1.6.0.30.
"Show desktop" icon no longer shows desktop but wants to scan it instead. This didn't happen with previous Spybot (not sure of the version no) and is a nuisance. Haven't found any reference on the forum.
If I right click the icon I get a menu and can bypass the scan request, but isn't there some way to just disable it?
Thanks for any help or (polite:)) suggestions

Your problem seems to be cause by the right click context menu "Scan using Spybot-Search&Destroy" feature in Spybot 1.6.

Many thanks. I'll try those instructions in due course. Running Linux Ubuntu right now, or at least it's running me. I'll be back in Windows shortly, and let you know.

Thanks to you and to Sandra.
