...some stuff was a bit funky next time i fired her up. nothing huge, just odd stuff, like a few things on the desktop had somehow been renamed( Huh).
Sounds like normal Microsoft Windows behavior to me. It shouldn't do that, but it does. Windows is pretty famous for mysterious icon screw-ups in my personal experience. They move, dissappear, their bitmaps change - you name it. I highly doubt the xrays had anything to do with it. Just Windows being Windows...
