I screwed up something on IE6 and now my desktop icons are all
highlighted in blue. I tried to put a link to a web site on my desk
top & this is what I ended up with.

= Right click on Desktop, Hover over arrange icons By >> and make sure the
Lock Web Items on Desktop is unchecked or unmarked.

= If still no joy then Right click Desktop select Properties.
- On Display Properties click on Desktop Tab then Click on Customize
Desktop Button there click on Web Tab and make sure nothing checked from the
check boxes there.
Click [OK] Hit F5 to refresh, it clear bgcolor now?.
