Desktop Background showing through wallpaper

[Guest jamesGuntenaar]

I am seeing the colour of the desktop show around the icons on the desktop,

even though I have a wallpaper on the screen. You can still see the

wallpaper, however the colour of the desktop is showing through.

RE: Desktop Background showing through wallpaper

 

You can change this by doing the following:

 

Right click on My Computer,

Select properties,

CLick on the Advanced tab at the top,

Click on Performance,

Scroll to the bottom of the listing and select (check) Use drop shadows...

 

You may want to select "Let Windows Choose..." at the top.

 

Hope this helps...
