ND22 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) I have an older PC with XP installed and from a week ago all icons on the screen have the blue background identically with the one that appears when you checked "lock web items on desktop". However even if I checked or unchecked the option the icons appear the same! Is there some registry tweak to get rid of the setting?

Ponch Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Not sure where you find that "Lock..." setting, but what you describe can probably be changed in Sytem Properties/Advanced/Settings/Visual Effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ND22 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Right click on the desktop, the ninth option is: "lock web items on desktop". And no, it can't be changed in the visual effects tab! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinifera Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) it is a visual setting but I think its the one under performance options within my computer settingsthink its "drop shadows under icons on desktop"that one used to fix that non-translucent problemalso such problem arised when default (classic) desktop background was changed from light blue to customwhich I guess this active desktop crap does, revert it back and see if it still happens Edited November 19, 2012 by vinifera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
