Opaque background to folder and file titles on desktop

[David Peterson]

I was working yesterday with graphics in a document. I needed to edit
an image embedded in a Word doc, and was having trouble with Word image
editing tools, so I decided to work with it in Photoshop. I tried to
copy and paste it into Photoshop, but Photoshop wouldn't let me. So I
copied it and pasted it to the desktop. I got all sorts or prompts
(must save a copy, must name it, etc) which let me save it to the
desktop as a .bmp, but then something weird happened. The folder and
file names on the desktop became opaque. No matter what I do in
preferences, I can't get rid of the opaque background colored squares
behind the folder & file names on the desktop. How do I make them
transparent again?

Thanks Sharon! Removing the "Web Item" did the trick.

You're welcome, David!
