Hi Mike,

Checkpoints to consider:

1) Right click on desktop >> arrange icons by >> uncheck "Lock Web items on desktop"

2) Right click on My Computer >> Properties >> Advanced tab >> Settings under 'Performance' >> check
"Use drop shadows for icon labels on desktop".

As Anando pointed out the 2 things to do but there is also a third for those
that have a Video card with dual monitor capabilities....turn the second
monitor activity off. If your second monitor is simply turned off, that will
not do.
