Grey border around desktop icons

[FranzH]

This probably has a really simple answer but ive looked on google to try and fix this but i cant find anything. Heres the problem: i was messing around on the desktop just moving things etc and then the icons just had a grey border around them they stayed after turning off the pc and its really bugging me.

Not entirely sure what the problem is here Franz, but I would suggest that you carry out a system restore back to a date before the problem occurred. (Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore).

Good idea thanks

[FranzH]

You know on the calendar... only todays date and yesterdays date is in bold

In that case I suggest that you scan your system for viruses/malware!

[FranzH]

Ok so what do you suggest next about the grey icons? Is there like a default button for all icons?

[rich912]

Have you scanned for viruses/malware?

[FranzH]

Doing it now - Spywear Doctor + Spy Bot.
I might run that trend micro house call one over night

Also carry out a full virus scan.
