Hi picaneez,
Right-click on My Computer, select Properties, Advanced tab, Settings button in Performance section, under Visual Effects tab scroll down and click in the checkbox beside "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop" to check it, then Apply then OK and OK again. Right-click a blank area of the Desktop, then select Arrange Icons by and click to uncheck "Lock Web Items on Desktop" Regards, -- Patti MacLeod Microsoft MVP - Windows Shell/User "picaneez" wrote: I can't believe I can't fix this problem myself...but here goes...Somehow I ended up with a blue box encaseing the words under my icons on my start up screen.

Right click on the desktop then choose properties, then click on the desktop tab. Then click on the customize desktop button, then click on the web tab and finally delete the Active Desktop element for example the web page listed in the text box. Click apply and ok. |
