    Icons on my desktop have a color box around the titles.

    I am using the windows vista on mine system and I am using the active desktop photo. Yesterday when restart the system my all icon have a color around the title on the desktop. Normally the icon titles have a light background to blend better with the desktop. They look unpleasant on the desktop and I'm in my final intellect on how to fix it. I have also gone through some threads to solve mine issue but I didn’t have any answer for this solution. Now I don’t know how to solve this issue. Can anyone help on this topic and so that I can solve mine issue.

    Hi thanks for answering and would appreciate your suggestions. I tried lots of ways to solve the crisis, so far no luck until now. One think I have clear is that I am not able to locate the Web tab in the proposal above. What I see then click "Customize Desktop" is a "General" label, which has "My Documents, My Network Places," "My Computer", "Internet Explorer" check box you can select. In addition, while i tick the mouse on the display, organize Icons in the area I could not find "Lock Web." Am I on the same page or is there some other things I did wrong?
