Unwanted task list stuck to my desktop background

On my desktop, I have the same common task links that are
listed on the inside of folders stuck on my background. I
tried going to background properties to clear it, but
there's no setting that allows me to clear it. I've
discover that this setting is only for folders. So I'm
confused as to how it could be stuck to my desktop.

Thank you,
Portia
 
Hi Portia,

Click Start | Run | type "regsvr32 /i shell32". Restart Windows.

If this does not help, see:

That worked!!!! You have no idea how long I've been
trying to fix that. I figured that it might have
something to do with the registry, but I just didn't know
where to start.
Thank you so much.

Most welcome. Which procedure did you try?
