BACKGROUNDS HELP!!!
Hey,
So I tried to copy a shortcut to my desktop, then all of a sudden it said that it didn't work, and my background on my desktop changed to one that I have never used, and the color behind the application icons were blue (originally there is no color at all behind them). Anyways, it looks like they are all selected now when really they aren't. I have gone into the desktop properties. It gives me the option to change the color, which I can, but there is no option for "no color". How do I get rid of that color in the background?? I'm working with XP Professional. I know with my Windows 98, I had background colors on the applications, but I know that with XP they have improved it so that there can be no color at all. It looks like all of the applications are selected when they aren't. It looks like a whole bunch of blue blocks on my desktop. I have tried re- applying default styles but they won't go away. There is no option for having no color in the properties.. I need to get rid of them. HELP!!! MOI |

That sounds awfully like your desktop is locked. Right click in an empty
space on the desktop and untick "Lock web items on Desktop" -- Peter. Toronto, Canada. Windows XP Home SP1. Pentium 4 @ 3.00ghz, 160gb HD, 1.00gb DDR |
