More info on how it happened...last night I shutdown Puppy for the night now today when I first booted I couldnt see the Xlock Icon so I again dragged it to the desktop and then rebooted to see if this time I could see it. Perhaps this action was somehow what caused the PuppyPin file to reset and become empty.
Most probably the Xlock Icon was hiding behind the help Icon when I first rebooted as you have found.
At the moment Ive dragged it back to desktop and after rebooting found it also hiding behind the help Icon.
Question what is making the Xlock Icon goto the same position on the desktop as the help Icon at every boot..
I like these problems..as they are not major, yet they help me learn more about puppy
