Hi, Sounds like the screen effects has changed. Go to the Display properties/Appearance/Effects screen and see whether the "Use the Following method to smooth edges of screen font" is set. If this is the problem you then need to find the policy that controls it.

All users are using a .BMP as the background, should this have had any effect on the look of the icons. If it does how can it be fixed without enabling Active Desktop.
