Odd Icon Activity

[omgsoup]

right, so my recycle bin looks real weird on my desktop. i was wondering if i could somehow get rid of that white shadow behind the icon.

or even better, is there a way to make it not say "recycle bin"?

Dialup is still here. Can you change that to a jpg?

 

[omgsoup]

here's the jpeg

Thanx for that. Is it only happening with the recycle bin? Is my computer or networks doing it?

 

[omgsoup]

well, its the only icon on my desktop

 

[Hipster Doofus]

So put the others up & see. It only takes a couple of clicks. Right click desktop/properties/desktop/customise.

 

[omgsoup]

more of the same

Are you using active desktop? Because that is what causes that on my PC.

hahaha i forgot how to disable active desktop! a little help plz!

 

[omgsoup]

it went away for me when i unchecked "lock items to desktop". but i might have to try that active desktop thing. is there any benfit in having it active if you don't have like webpages as a background?
