I thought you said you needed the active desktop on? By unchecking those,
you've disabled the active desktop... which is fine, as long as you don't
need it on.

**Click Properties **
Choose the Desktop tab
and then choose customize Desktop

Static, not animated.
I have searched to find Active Desktop, nothing comes up!!
Mystery indeed, but I definately know it related to Active..
Thanks,

Well... the only thing I can think of for now is disabling
active desktop
all together, as that would get rid of the boxes. But, with
Webshots, you
need it on, correct? Maybe there's a setting in the Webshots
software?
With
Webshots, are they just static wallpapers? Or, are they
animated?

No, when I got my Dell about three weeks ago, they never were
transparent.
I understand once you activate Active Desktop, by putting
something on
it
from the web....(picture, etc.)
i.e., right clicking and hit 'add to desktop'....this
activates the
Active
Desktop.
I'm familiar with Active Desktop, because with my old 98
computer, I had
to
installed Active Desktop.
Maybe I am stuck with these ugly little boxes, until
Microsoft comes up
with
a solution!!!
Whatca think??!!

Yes that's the problem I am having.
and no is isn't checked.
From what I understand on the Microsoft website, it has
something to do
with
Active Desktop.
Once you activate Active Desktop, no telling how you can get
the
transparency to work.
Appreciate your help.
It wouldn't be such a problem having those little annoying
boxes, but I
use
'Webshots' wallpaper...
and the scenes are gorgeous!
Thanks,
Dorie

Dorie... if the problem you're having is what's in the
nixsoftware.com
screenshots, then try this...
Right-click on the desktop and select PROPERTIES. Click on
the DESKTOP
tab.
Click CUSTOMIZE DESKTOP on the bottom. Click on the WEB
tab. On the
bottom,
where it says LOCK DESKTOP ITEMS, is it checked? If it is,
that's
what's
causing the box around the icon titles. Uncheck it, hit OK
and then
APPLY
then OK again. Assuming this is the problem, it should now
be
rectified.
Let me know if it cleared it, as I am still researching.
