O.P. Odd Desktop Refresh
Ok my XP just started to do this and it's driving me up a wall. Every once in a while the desktop icons disappear and then reload and my system tray icons reload.

Any one know what this is?

It'll be an explorer.exe crash most likely.

Run Task Manager, and then Run explorer.exe from the Run command.

@ DJeX: You sound like you have an explorer.exe crash on your hands, as mentioned above. What did you install recently?
