Hi ... I downloaded a program from Kelly's Korner....
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp.htm .... and it enables the user to lock
the desktop icons. I use a lot of desktop icons and have them arranged
based on a criteria I have setup and when they default back to all one mess
of them it takes quite some time to put them back, so this program is great.
However ... when I right click on the desktop and click on Lock Desktop
Icons .. the text below them now have a grey background... whereas before I
locked them there was no grey background on the text for each desktop item.
I know it is just cosmetic however I find it annoying .. any way I can lock
the desktop icons and also have the text with no background color... thanks.

Dave

Why not send an email to Kelly, explaining you problem, via her website?

Just click on the link you posted and then the "EMAIL" icon. That allows
you to post comments concerning the content of the site. Actually, I don't
know if it's a he or a she.
