Hello:

After installing the Critical Update 821557, I have the following problems
with my desktop:
1. When logging in, the desktop wallpaper loads, then blanks out to a dark
blue screen for a couple of seconds (the icons though are still visible),
and then re-loads. I had last seen this behaviour in very old versions of
Windows (95/98).
2. The desktop icons and text appear with a dark blue "box" around them.
Also, the icons are of very bad quality. Tried repairing icons using
Powertoys - no change. I am using the default XP Theme.
3. The XP version number that I had enabled using Powertoys no more appears
(though it is still visible before the blanking I mentioned in 1). Also, I
the icons appear okay before the blanking.

Could someone please help?
Thanx a lot in advance.

Hello All:

I solved all these issues myself.
Control Panel -> Display Properties -> Desktop -> Customize Desktop ->
Web -> Uncheck "Lock Desktop Items"

That did it!

Cheers!
