Make sure that it is to check the box "Shadows fall to use the desktop icon labels" and "OK" your way out.

    How can I get rid of my desktop icon after installing Firefox 8.0.1?

    Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.
    Open the image (DMG) disk Firefox with a double-click if necessary file and drag the Firefox program folder of the application on your hard drive.
    You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead.

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

  • How can I prevent the desktop icons move arround whenever a different profile is open?

    Hi JexterMaxim,

    1. what type of user accounts that you use?
    2. don't you log on as an administrator?
    3. don't you make changes to the agreement of the issue occur?

    When you install a program, you will need to select the installation option in particular only to user accounts. Not in user accounts. You can try the following steps.

    Desktop shortcuts are stored in one of two places:
    (a) in c:\Users\Public\Desktop. These shortcuts are shared and are visible to the user ever.
    (b) in c:\Users\UserName\Desktop. These shortcuts are not shared and are visible to the user.

    When you right click on a shortcut, and then click general, then you can see where this particular shortcut is stored.

    To make a shortcut of the group a) visible to yourself, do this method:
    a. drag the shortcut to the side with the right button of the mouse.
    b. Select "copy". You have now two seemingly identical shortcuts.
    c. delete the original shortcut.

  • How can I change the the font color of desktop icons?

    Specifically, the color behind the text of the icons.

    (a picture of my desk for clarity)

    When I pass on my screen at my own default image, the text under the icons no longer have the background transparent, but is a dark gray color.

    How do I get this to be transparent?
    Thank you.

    If it was clear before, it is the most likely cause of the problem:

    • Transparency is disabled if the image is a specific type of image (for example, if it is a PNG image instead of a bitmap file).  This is the best way to change:

      1. open the image file with paint.  Choose file > save as.
      2. before recording, change the type of file in JPG or JPEG Image.
      3 - right click on the newly saved file and "set as wallpaper".

    If this does not work, another thing to try is:

    • Right click on "My Computer", and then select Properties.
    • On the Advanced tab, click the first settings button (for execution).
    • In the list, make sure that it is enabled: "Shadows fall to use the desktop icon labels" (this is the 2nd to last option).
