OT: how do I get rid of this nastiness?

[hitman]

Running WinXp Home on this...I think these Icons look like buttcrack. How Do I get rid of the text highlight?

 

[Pilotasso]

"my computer" right click "properties" then "advanced" under "perfomace", click "setings" and then there will be several tick squares.

 

I think the one is "use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop"

No-go...still got nastiness on the icons.

Make your background black then you won't see the highlighting ... thats what I do :)

try first this - right click on empty place on desktop and in drop menu under Arrange Icons By remove confirmation from Lock Web Items on Desktop.

if this doesn't work there is another way;

i found this in informatic magazine.

the second one is: firts step is do what Pilotasso wrote here: control panel>system>advanced> button settings > Performance > tab Visual effects confirm on Use drop shadows for icon labels.

Then go to Control Panel > Display > tab Desktop > click on button Customize Desktop > tab Web. Here you have to remove confirmation from all pages on list under Web pages and from Lock Desktop Items

Ok I got it fixed...what I did was TURNED OFF ACTIVE DESKTOP. It worked. Thanks anyways guys.:smartass:

I had that when I set my Desktop to Web. To get rid of it I just turned the Web Desktop off.

 

Rightclick on the desktop and select Properties.

Select the Desktop tab.

Click the Customize Desktop button at the bottom left.

Click on the Web tab.

Make sure nothing is checked.

 

Edit:

Ooops! I was 1 minute too late...

Yeah I didnt think that web desktops and active desktops were the same...Ive been usig Norton System Optimizer and just disabled it from there.
