Hi Steven,

I rather doubt this. Not that there is some key combo
shortcut that will auto-sort your desktop, but that it
would be active from inside Moz -- which *is* where I
was while this was happening. I did not find the
result until I left Moz and went back to the desktop.
It had been fine when I went into Moz. (And that's
just clicking on the icon -- no key-twiddling
involved.)

Nor getting zapped by something at a website ? How
about some misfiring of the Scitech video drivers ?

O.K., but doesn't that have to be close to immediately
after the situation occurs ?
