Ok folks, I have a small but annoying problem ;)  :comp

Its a computer problem :D , has to do with the display on my desktop. There are a couple of pictures imbeded (s/p) on the desktop display that I cant get rid of :break  almost like they are some sort of icons. But the have no right click functions. I can change the desktop to "none" in the display settings and it shows a blank screen but when you go to the desktop heres these 2 pics giving me the bird :flamed

Happened last night when I was in Webshots uploading photos for wallpaper on the desktop. I've diasabled Webshots and looked for options to kill these pics but no luck.

Anyone? :stupid

They are annoying cause they cover the real wall paper and they are small pics that just make a mess, I'm stressing out :cry  :drama

Thanks for nothin :rotflmao I found the answer on Gardenweb.coms forums after doing a search for "removing pictures from desktop"

This guy nailed it :jumpie

"I suspect this is an "active desktop" web page. Go to display properties/desktop/customise desktop/web tab and uncheck any boxes there or delete the item."

So the boards are all powerful :laugh  even the gardening people are helpful :comp
