Greetings!

Couple of problems/concerns that I am having problems with:

1.) I can't get my desktop icons to go "clear." They are stuck in
permanent highlight "mode." I have tried the System/Appearance and to
make sure the the "drop shadow" option is checked and I have tried the
right-clicking the desktop to "unlock.". . . These fixes are not
working. . . I don't remember doing anything to change this - this just
appeared one day and I can't seem to get rid of it. . .

2.) The top of my "Task Manager" dialog box has been chopped off and
has disappeared. I use CTL-ALT-DEL and then it opens but the top of
the box is gone. . . I cannot close the box in the normal way and all
of the tabs at the top are gone.

Any help you all can provide would be MOST helpful!

Thanks!

Hii, Check if ur icons transperancy is applied to do this go to my computer
(right click) properties > Advanced > Perfomance [Settings] > Visual
Effects: u will find the option there. if the options are all selected [best
appearence] then u can try to reapply the themes from Desktop rightclick
properties> Appearance.
 
Hey Thota. . . thank you for continuing to help out. . . I have still
not been able to get the blue backgrounds to go from the desktop icons.
.. . I am not sure what I am doing wrong. . . should I do some sort of
system restore?
