I have had this occur twice: Suddenly for no apparent reason a blue coloured
box appears behind the names of the desktop icons and the letters turn to
black.
I have read all the solutions posted in the past - but none of them worked.
Finally I right clicked on the desktop and went into the desktop tag. Then I
went into the drop arrow for the colours - it was blue. I clicked on "other"
and moved the arrow up to the very top, i.e. "no colour" and all the icons
reverted to the previous display; i.e. no coloured box and white letters for
the names of the respective sortcuts. Can anyone tell me why this happens?
Have I come up with the correct solution (yes I went into visual ... and
check the shadow box.)

'If you use Active Desktop features the opening of the desktop, will
appear this problem.For example, if the background of the desktop or the
use of transparent images or animated GIF images, set to page or desktop
activities, will appear this problem.If the opening of "lock on the
desktop Web project" feature, may also appear this problem.'
