you sure its not the costum skin you're using that is the one to blame?

Thats the Royale theme for windows professional or media center. Well i tried all the suggestions and none worked so i just reinstalled XP. Ah the smell of fresh grass. My comp actually looks good with no icons on the desktop.   Now i have to dl all those M$ updates. 59 of them to be exact. Plus i have to reinstall all my progs.
