Hi,
Today (17 May) the background color of my desktop shortcut icons changed.
Before that, the background color of the desktop shortcut icons was
transparent. So, there are 4 layers on the desktop: desktop background (blue
but invisible because it is covered by a desktop picture), then desktop
picture, then desktop icon background color (which is normally transparent),
and finally the desktop icon itself with its text underneath.
So, today, the background color of the desktop icons (which was transparent
before) became now blue, exactly the same color as the desktop background
itself.
I tried to change the desktop icon background color back to transparent
using: Display Properties-> Desktop tap (or Appearance tap) but *Transparent*
is not even present in the menu. I did notice, though, that changing the
desktop background color changes also the desktop icons background color, as
both background colors are now always the same.
So, how can I change the desktop shortcut icons' background color to
transparent and this in an INDEPENDENT way from the desktop background
color????
Note that I have also 2 *.jpg pictures that illustrate the problem, but
there is no way to post/upload it onto this forum. I can send it by email if
MS specialists read this.
I have found a temporary solution by using a System Restore to yesterday (16
May) but at the expense of loss of datafiles on the D partition. This is
clearly a devastating bug in System Restore (see other message of mine).
Please reply with an answer for the background color problem of the desktop
shortcut ions.
thanks
