Desktop Display Hijacked!
This morning I found an unfamiliar icon on my desktop from Yahoo Messenger. Stupidly, I clicked on it. Suddenly a huge "Yahoo Messenger" graphic took over my entire desktop display - making it nearly impossible to see my icons or menus beneath it. Help! How do I get rid of this beast? I un-installed Yahoo Messenger, but of course that did not work. I want my desktop display back. Thanks for anyone who can help. And I promise never again to click on something I don't recognize!
