My desktop on my pc is pretty much like my desk. Neat, orderly and colour coded!

I opened an email sent to my husband - it was a video clip. I had already viewed it without any trouble, however this time it wouldn't open and when pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete - is showed not responding. So I left it.

When I went back to my desktop - all my folders title's had a green block around them.

I tried to change it back to the way that I had it - white text with no colour block at all but the display settings will only let me choose a colour.

Well, I never had a colour block before - just plain text and I can't seem to find how to get it back that way. Please help with my pc's display settings If the option isn't there - how did I get it right in the first place? Am I making sense?

I really don't like the coloured blocks around my text. Besides, it looks horrible against my beautiful wallpaper.

I want my plain "unblocked" text back! Please help with my pc's display settings

Any ideas?

Oh sorry, yes - I do have Windows XP.

What do I lose if I do a system restore? The last time I did one I lost so much I have been afraid of restoring since.
