That's kind of part of the symptom I'm seeing, except you get an error if
you double click on them. (file not found)

server to which you are connecting.  The server needs to send change
notifications requested by the client.  What kind of server is it to which
you are connecting?<

Windows 200 Server, Snap server, and our AS/400, they all do it.

Nope, but like I said, I have autorun disabled.

  If it were a video driver problem i would expect artifacts if it were n't
  refreshing the screen properly.

  That's not what i was describing -- you can move these icons that you just
  deleted, you can try to delete them again 9and you get a file not found
  error)  and as for the network drives that exhibit the same behavior, they
  just don't show up, and you know their connected because of a command line
  net use shows them.  As for the cdrom's never changing the disk name when
  you change the CD, you tell me. (probably something to do with autorun not
  turned on, but it should update when accessing the CD.)

  And also, this beahovior is exactly the same on all my PC's regardless of
  video.

     Why should there be artifacts?  The symptoms described were that the
icon
  images were visible but clicking on them had no effect.  That is an
  indication that there is no icon there.  There are ways to distinguish by
  opening another window and dragging it across the front of the one with
  phantom icons or minimizing then maximizing.

  It's not a repaint problem as there are no artifacts, it's an update
problem
  in explorer.

     What people are describing doesn't sound like a caching issue.  It
sounds
  like a display driver problem with blts that manifests as repaint
problems.
