    Desktop icon overlaid with second image


    Most of my desktop icons have a second image that overlays the icon itself. Any idea how to fix this? I'm attaching a screenshot that illustrates my problem.

    Hello Joey, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    This is an issue with your shortcut overlay on the icon. Restoring the default shortcut arrow overlay should fix this for you. :)
