    I dragged a photo from Ebay onto an Email.
    It went out with the Email, but a copy of it is still on my Desk top.
    I cant find it or move it.
    Any body know what I might do?

    I have a photo of it, hmmm cant see how to put the photo up for you!

    Mitch Cooley solved it:
    Check to see if you have active desktop enabled.

    Control Panel.> Display > Desktop > Customize Desktop

    Click the Web tab in the Desktop Items window.

    to disable Active Desktop, make sure all checkboxes in this window are un-checked.

    When you drug the image from EBAY it may have activated your active desktop.

    Mitchell Cooley wins the Free week end with my Grizz in the Desktop.
    His instructions were clear concise and right to the answer.
    Thank you much, Mitch.
    Thanks to the rest who tried to help, hopefully we all learned something eh?
