    There's this weird grey-ish thing on my desktop for some reason. You can even see a tiny portion of the original wallpaper at the top, that hasn't been covered. Also, some of the icons look empty, like the Audition one on the center-left side. This happened a few times, then went back to normal when rebooting. But what could it be? Should I worry? Any ideas?

    What's wrong with my Desktop??

    Desktop Shortcut Icons

    Hi Mik-Dav,

    The desktop shortcut created for a specific website should bear the website's actual logo. With what you've experienced, there could be something wrong with how the shortcut was created.

    If you've created the shortcut by selecting Create shortcut, then we suggest that you try the other way, that is by dragging the website icon that appears in the address bar to your desktop. Follow these steps:

    • Using Internet Explorer, access a website.
    • Once the website opens, you will see its icon in the address bar.
    • Click and drag the icon on your desktop.

    The website shortcut bearing its actual logo should now be saved on your desktop.

    Let us know if you need further help.

    Regards.
