Help Help my boyfriend is going to kill me * COMPLETED*
« on: Friday 31 March 06 10:12 BST (UK) »
I have managed to stick a picture on my desktop on top of the desktop image and all the icons are glowing bright red.

I dragged an image onto the desktop from an email I got expecting to be able to save it but instead I have the whole thing!!!

I though I had deleted from the harddrive and it is still there!!!

I will take a picture with the camera and show you all!!

Help me!

Right click with the mouse on an open area of the desktop (ie not on any of the icons) select properties and then desktop .... make changes there.

or try right clicking on the image itself and using the options there.

The red colour around the icons is nothing to worry about it looks like the underlying desktop colour has been set to red this can also be changed from the desktop menu

Changing the picture via properties doesnt get rid of it - it stays there just the background changes

It may sound too simple but have you tried to restart the machine

try reselecting the original image which is listed in windows as "Tulips" and setting that as the background image.

Go into Display and see what it shows as your background style - as Falkyrn shows above

Or try Properties, delete

How about you move the pic to a different folder - that way it cannot be found by your desktop
