Bad Desktop Problem

[Nickolas]

Hi, my problem is this. I right clicked and copied a picture, then i
went to the desktop and right clicked and pressed paste. Now all me
icons have a border around them, this border is what ever colour the
desktop background color is, so now the icons stick out from whatever
the desktop wallpaper is and this is very annoying, can anyone tell me
how a can remove this border?

Click on the Start button
Select Control Panel
Then select Performance and Maintenance/Adjust Visual Effects/"Use drop shadows for
icon labels on the Desktop".
Classic - Control Panel/System/Advanced/Performance/Settings
If this still doesn't do the trick, right-click the desktop, point to Arrange Icons
By and make sure that Lock Web Items on Desktop is un-checked

Right click on desktop. Select Properties, then open Desktop tab.
Click on the Customize Desktop button, then open the Web tab.
Delete everything in the Web Pages box except, My Current Home Page.
Press OK, then Apply, and maybe OK again.
You may have to restart for settings to take effect.
