I have upset my desktop somehow. Now my problem is a visual thing. I can now
see the box around the file name all the time not just when the mouse
pointer is laid over the top. Does anyone have any ideas what I did? and how
to fix it. I have tried changing the setup of the screen but no good.

Regards
Paul

Go to the Appearance section of your Display Properties. In the Advanced
part you may be able to correct it.

Right click My Computer\Properties\Advanced\Performance\Settings\Visual Effects\Scroll down to and check 'Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop'. Click apply.
 
Found my problem it was in desktop properties, Customize desktop, Web, had a
tick in the Lock desktop items. Thanks for all the help.

Best Regards
Paul
