The tech support used to have an old phone number where the inspirer and I used to frequently call… it was fun
Today, I found out that the phone number you need to call – for activating windows 1600111100 is now 1800111100. So, thats that. Its a nice place to call… IVRS
The icons on my desktop (Windows XP) suddenly started to get a blue border – and the text was also highlighted. The image alongside is what it looked like. Of course, I dont want this. When I googled, I found only two solutions
1. Right click on Desktop>Arrange Icons By>Lock Web Items on Desktop – this should be unchecked
2. Start>Right click on “My Computer”> Properties> Advanced> Settings (under performance)> (The Last but one thing – “Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop”) Should be checked.
I tried both these, but still the problem persisted.
What I did was this
1. Right Click on desktop
2. Properties
3. Desktop Tab (where you change the wallpaper)
4. Customize desktop (at the base of the wallpaper list)
5. Web – TAB
6. You should not have anything checked here. In my case there was a website which was checked. I removed this, save, save, save and problem solved
“Aaah, what a fine day for (computer) science”
