This is a small problem but its these things that really grip me. On the main desktop on XP my icons have the old fashioned coloured box around the writing, unlike the white writing with the transparent background that it should look like.
I hope you know what im on about :lol: im not crazy
Good luck

Guessing you have windows xp. Click the start menu then. Then click control pannel. After that click appearance and themes. Then click display under the section title that says "or pick a control panel icon". Then click the apperence tab. Then choose advance. Go to the drop down menu and click desktop and you will be able to change the color not remove the outline.
Thank you very much for your help Magic. All i have is one more question. I now know how to change that colour, but is there anyway to make that so you can just see the writing, not the box around the icon writing. Basically the default XP way, not the way it was in 95, 98 and ME.
