I have a problem with my desktop. For some reason it won't let me change my desktop pic only the color option is available. It won't even let me browse for a pic to put on my desktop. Now it only has the color blue on it. But when you turn the computer off it shows the picture that i want on my desktop right before it turns off.

I know this is simple but it's driving me nuts that I cannot fix it. The Help desk just updated my computer and now there are boxes surrounding the names of the desktop icons. I do not want these boxes. When I change the desktop color, it changes the color of these boxes. How do I fix this so there is no box and it is clear with just the names. I can't stand looking at this!
