Hi...

It's happening on my machine too (10.4.6). It's as if the Finder icon jumped out of the Dock and got stuck. The icon is floating in front of all other windows.

Not sure what I've recently changed that might have caused this. Low disk space as usual may be a culprit :)

Annoyingly the Finder no longer appears as an icon in the task switcher (command-tab) either.

Have fun,
Shay

It's possible that you have inadvertently made an alias to the finder. The
finder (little happy face) is an actual program that lives in
system/library/core services. You can't move it or copy it without changing
the permissions but you can make as alias of it. Has the happy face got a
little arrow in the bottom left corner? Does it have a name? If you can
select it you can get info on it with apple key +i. That will tell you more
about it.

Hi,

The apple "happy face" has suddenly appeared as an icon on the lower left
hand side of my OSX desktop. It is sitting "over" the desktop image and is
not an active icon - there is just the image.

Can anyone please explain why it has appeared and how I get rid of it

Smiles
Aurora
