Desktop display corrupted when using Search (for files/folders)

Well, thank you for that snotty for remark.

 

The only System Information I can find is in Programs/Accessories/System Tools. It doesn't show any graphs, only text, and shows information about Memory but nothing about CPU.

 

Yes, it is large. However, speed of loading isn't a problem for me. I find it quite acceptable.

Ok Arie, I created another user, also with Admin rights. Searching doesn't affect the relatively unpopulated desktop with that, but it does exhibit other strange behaviour - as it does on my normal user's desktop.

That is, searching for what I now know to be left-over junk in the registry after uninstalling National Instrument's Labview gives me two blocks of about eight entries, which is repeated after a few lines without information but preceded with some sort of file icon, then another block of a similar number of entries which also repeats.

I interrupt the search after it does this serveral times.

I can't delete any of these items nor can I get any information by right clicking on any of them.

But I assume tthat his is a problem unrelated to the graphics corruption on my normal user's desktop.
