Get rid of icon overlay


Recommended Posts

On my desktop icons theres a white square box overlay outside my icons. Wondering if i can get rid of it. (Its not the arrow overlay btw i already got rid of that).

Thanks

I think it's because your icon size is too large. The icons you're using don't support the larger sizes employed in Vista, so the best way to fix them is to decrease the size to a compatible one.

I found when I had this problem it was because two programs were removing shortcut arrow from desktop icons.

So I corrected it by browsing the programs I own and checking if they have this function initiated, I have 6 and I found two changing icon appearance.
