seethru Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 do you mean you're viewing a webpage on your desktop? or you have a normal wallpaper, and it's telling you it's viewing it as a webpage? What OS? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/137139-why-is-my-desktop-being-viewd-as-wp/#findComment-1675383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamz Veteran Posted January 31, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 31, 2004 maybe you can turn off web content. tweakui > explorer > uncheck allow web content to be added to the desktop not sure if that'll help, though.

nazgul Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Display Properties>Desktop Tab>Customize Desktop Button>Web Tab Should be able to anything you need from there, I'd assume, although you didn't really explain your problem.

harrisxml Posted January 31, 2004 Author Share Posted January 31, 2004 It is a normal desktop... When I put my mouse over the icons they act like they are hypoerlinks in that my pointer turns into a hand and an underline appears on mouseover.

harrisxml Posted January 31, 2004 Author Share Posted January 31, 2004 There is a screenshot of my desktop right now. The goofy thing is the desktop style icons... They act as though they are web links in all of my folders and on my desktop.

thingsforjason Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 change the settings under Folder Options. In the General Tab, there's a setting for "Click items as follows" Makue sure that's set to "Double-Click to open an item" *edit* oh, and plug your laptop in before the battery dies. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/137139-why-is-my-desktop-being-viewd-as-wp/#findComment-1675485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
