For some reason, the icons on my desktop have a colored background. How do I
get rid of it. I have already tried to use a default theme, and this problem
still occurs. Please help.
 
You need to access the PERFORMANCE settings on CONTROL PANEL.. place a check
mark beside 'use drop shadows for icons on the desktop'..
 
right-click the desktop, point to Arrange Icons By and make sure that Lock Web Items
on Desktop is un-checked
 
Hi Meghan,

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".
