Stupid Icon Question

[DeeBeeS]

This is in respect of icons on the wallpaper, I did know how to do this but I have forgotten, I want to take away the coloured square behind the text. I have been to system advanced but can't seem to find the right box to untick. Thanks for your help

Right click my computer, click properties, advanced tab, performance settings, click adjust for best apperance.

No that didn't work, I tried that before, I think you have to untick one of the boxes which just leaves the text which I want. Thanks anyway

Have you tried selecting adjust for best performance, applying it and then clicking adjust for best apperance?

I have set up my theme,icons etc through Style XP. When I do as you suggest for some reason it goes back to the classic style. I then have to mess about with everything again. As I say its just stupid but annoying I am certain I am only a click away.

It's just a matter of finding which click to click on!

Right click My Computer>Properties>Advanced tab>Performance
Check the "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop" option. 🙂

I'm a bit further East, well any further East and you end up in the Sea! Near Sunny Lowestoft.

Problem solved I right clicked on the desktop, clicked on arrange icons by and saw that the lock Web items on desktop was clicked, I removed that and then it all came good. Thanks a bunch chaps.
