    Strange box replaces desktop icons after hibernation


    Basically, whenever I start my computer from hibernation, all of my desktop icons disappear and are replaced with a gray box:Said box is in the top-left corner today. It's always on the left side somewhere along the top or bottom, but never along the side and never floating in the middle. My desktop icons always reappear when I double-click this box, so it's not much of a problem, but I would like to know what this is and why this happens. Thanks!

    :)
