Descktop Icon Question.
Hi.
Thanks for reading this, I'll be as brief as possible. I was cutting and pasting something onto my desktop... after I had finished I noticed that the text under each of the icons on my desktop had a colored background box around it. I've looked for desktop settings to fix it (change it back so that the text appears as if it were directly on the desktop rather than in a colored box on top of the desk top). Any thoughts about how to remove the colored box from around the text?. I have rebooted and that did not fix it. I have also checked that there is nothing in the clipboard and that I do not get a paste option when right clicking on the desktop. Thanks very much for your help. Jeff. |

drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop. If that doesn't resolve your issue, right click the Desktop, select Properties, Desktop, Customize Desktop, Web tab.

I have no idea what that was about, but the second thing you suggested worked. I do VERY MUCH appreciate your help. Jeff. "Doug Knox MS-MVP" wrote in message ...
