From a post by MVP Malke: To have transparent icons: 1) Hold down the Windows key and press Pause/Break. On the "Advanced" tab, under "Performance" click "Settings." On the "Visual Effects" tab, make sure the box "Use drop shadows for icon labels" is checked. 2) Right-click on the Desktop, and make sure that "Arrange Icons by" "Lock Web items" is not checked. 3) Right-click on the Desktop, and choose Properties. On the "Desktop" tab, click "Customize Desktop," then on the "Web" tab, uncheck all boxes. 4) Make sure any Wallpaper is an image file. Html will stop the transparency. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

There is a page up/pause and a page down/break with the pause and break requiring the use of the FN key as well. Anyway the shortcut on my laptop turns out to be Win - FN - pg up/pause. Which is the same as right clicking My Computer (either on the desktop or in Start menu)and selecting Properties. -- Roy Smith Windows XP Pro SP3 |
