Desktop Icons

[Fingers]

Hi

bit of a newbie on XP but can't find anywhere in help for this problem - my
XP setup has suddenly decided to put the description of my desktop icons
within a box - yet on my wifes log on her's still only show the text! How
can I get mine back to showing just text?

Thanking all in anticipation

psft

Right click My Computer / Properties. Go to the Advanced tab then click on
the Settings button under Performance. Make sure there is a check mark next
to "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop".

Hope this helps!

Right click the desktop. Select Properties, then Arrange Icons by. In the
next flyout menu, uncheck "Lock Web Items..."
