    Hi redsoxm, maybe I didn't explain myself well.

    Example, If you go to the Google website, reduce it so you can see your desktop, drag the Google icon to your desktop, the icon appears with a white sheet behind it, I want to get rid of the white sheet not change the icon.

    ah, i see now. sorry but my knowledge doesn't extend that far.
    maybe you could just make or find an icon and replace it. that's my suggestion.
    sorry

    sorry
    No worries, :), thanks for all the advise, when I think about it it might be a registry hack, see if I get any more responses.

    Being rid of white sheet behind desktop shortcuts


    I posted this elsewhere, lots of great help but no solution, 'Ill try here.

    Example, If I go to the Goggle website, reduce it so you can see your desktop, drag the Goggle icon to my desktop, the favicon appears with a white sheet behind it, I want to get rid of the white sheet but not change the favicon.

    I know in XP there was a hack which would rid you of the large arrow that come with shortcuts, I am wondering if there is a hack for the above?
