Sometimes the Finder misbehaves (fuzzy icons/no icons) and quitting it, waiting a while, and bringing it back clears whatever it was that caused it to misbehave.

Just relaunching doesn't usually work. Okay. I've never needed that, usually just a relaunch will fix stuff. "Waiting a while" intrigues me, though -- are you letting it's little capacitors discharge? -- Very old woody beets will never cook tender. -- Fannie Farmer

If I cared enough, I'd try to find out why just restarting doesn't. -- email to oshea dot j dot j at gmail dot com.
