Many thanks, trouble is it didn't work, followed your suggestion, but I
still have blue backgrounds to the labels on the desktop icons.

If I go to display properties/advanced, it feels like I should be able to
select the desktop drop down tab and select "no background colour", trouble
is its not there to choose?
