Doc, For the most part it appears that most of us responding here are actually in IT. Trust us, this is a local IT job killer.

The way JuniorCrooks explained it the skin was picking up the background from the first one and sysmetrix of course couldn't tell the difference. That's why whenever a smaller skin was used before it the skin picked up that background because its own was ill defined. At l

Freaky Windowblinds Error in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Thought I would share a very strange thing that just happend to me with Windowblinds. I was 1 version behind on and had not updated on Impulse yet. Downloaded Avante blind. As it was extracting, all of the files in the blind appeared on my ( redirected ) desktop. BTW, I HATES Icons on my desktop... but I digress... Being a noble sport about the whole thing I promptly hit CTRL-A then SHIFT-DEL and presto! All those nasty desktop icons are gone (even checked with

check this registry setting too... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run see if anything funky is running that should not be.
