Good evening fellow experts, sure could use some of that expert help. Seems that my computer may have had a virus, so after attemting to remove it with some software, my desktop icons have lost their transparency. Now they have a blue box around their labels, and it looks god awful, something worse thant windows 98. What have i tried? The solutions that'works' for some people including: 1. system>adv>performance>settings>use drop shadows for desktop icons selected. Tried this. Did not work I have no idea how to fix it. Ironically if you create another user account, the icons look perfect--but who wants to move a thousand different files, and reinstall everything etc etc. weird. I know. Am i missing a system file, i think not. I will do anything. Please email me..mmarek@bellsouth dot net thanks so much, all the best Martin

You didn't mention if you tried this, so...

right click on Desktop and get properties, go to Desktop tab, click Customize Desktop, go to Web tab and make sure everything is unchecked. By default, you should only have "My Current Home Page" in there.
