My Desktop looks like Explorer with details such as Name, Size, Item Type and Date Modified, split into columns and am unable to remove this.


I have never seen this before on any screen before with any versions of windows.



If anyone knows how this occurred and how to remove I would be grateful as this is absolute crap on my desktop.


Thanks in advance all

What add-on's are you running for extra software. Could it be related to those Gidgets you have on the desktop?

Hiya broe23, I wish it was related to that however it is not.

I have managed to remove this issue and am unable to recreate the issue sadly :( as for the fix I also fluked that and am trying to recreate the entire event again and how it was fixed ( not 100% sure how I fixed it, however it has something to do with right clicking on the desktop.

I just hate it when things like this happen for little to no reason.

Thankyou all for your replies and time in endeavouring to correct this. Woohoo fixed for now.
