Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>customize (more info?)

My PC has recently started displaying the background color behind all of the
desktop icons (behing the ext and around the fringes fo the icons). It is
really annoying. If I wanted background colors I would not use a wallpaper. I
have tried every possible setting I know. I have updated the driver. I have
cleared the icon cache. No luck. I checked very known setting I could think
of. What am I missing here? I am using the NVIDIA gforce mx440 card with the
latest drivers from their site.

Help Me PLEASE ?!?!?!?

David

Hi David,

Checkpoints to consider:

1) Right click on desktop >> arrange icons by >> uncheck "Lock Web items on desktop"

2) Right click on My Computer >> Properties >> Advanced tab >> Settings under 'Performance' >> check
"Use drop shadows for icon labels on desktop".
