Is this a problem?

Just noticed that the finder, which used to be in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, is now in the middle, followed by  NetBarrier, Aim and the sound control panel.  Left side is iclock and Norton Quickmenu. I am used to finding it where it used to be!  I have never before, on any computer, seen this happen.  Is this a problem, or am I just rigid?

Dakota, I am not certain this will work, but it can't hurt and often fixes assorted ills:

Restart in Safe Mode by holding down a shift key while booting. This is usually a slow boot and will force the system to perform some background "housekeeping" including a file system check. After it is fully booted this way, just restart again and when done, go immediately to your Disk Utility and Repair Permissions on your drive.
