Desktop Icon Problem

[TheStig]

Okay about 15 minutes ago I was sitting at my computer when all of a sudden all the icons change and boxes appear around the words below the icon itself. Now, before this the boxes blended in with my backround, and now they cover it up! What can I do to make them blend in again? Any help would be nice...thanks

Restart your computer?

 

Edit: Also, backGround.

Right click(on desktop) > Properties > Themes > Windows XP> OK

 

Just reset your background and any other custom stuff.

I've noticed this quite alot lately. It's my one HUGE spelling peeve.

 

I think kids aren't typing the "g" because the g isn't very pronounced when you say the word. A whole generation raised on Hooked On Phonics will do that.

 

Backround doesn't even make sense. Background, the ground in the back.

It would kind of make sense if your desktop image was a bullet casing.
