ISSUE
for Windows 7 or Vista
I have had this question posed to me in many different ways:
- On my desktop, all of my icons have a little check box in the
upper-right hand corner, I find this irritating and was hoping I could remove
the check boxes from the icons.
- Check mark boxes next to desktop icons
- Upon start up today, I noticed check mark boxes next to my desktop icons and other folders. They pop up when I hover over the icon or folder.
