try uninstalling an today applet if you install to many it start to remove some from your list

i'm not really sure why but removing an applet which you dont use often make them come back

there is also a regedit way to doing it but i cant recall it

I had a problem like this when I installed My|Phone.

I fixed it by deleting an item from the list in the registry

here is the path to the registry keys

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items

Cheers Guys

I found the offending program, it was the MS Theme Generator (trying to design my own skin) ...

Removed that program and all is well, it has re-appeared !

BTW - anyone know what size the background skin should be ? Also - what's the best program to use to 'shrink' a jpeg to the required size ?

Many Thanks

irfanview is a good free picture viewer and edit (a bit not any photoshop but resizing is ok)
that should let you change the size of your jpg
