The "Ghost" white, outlined square on my laptop desktop.....

My question: I tried to put a picture on my desktop background, and ended up with my picture, plus a white lined square on the right hand side with a little white square with a red X in it. I have Windows XP on a laptop. How do I remove this annoying square? Anyone else have a problem like this? I've tried to left click and right click the red x, but with no results. I'll be glad to send a picture of this if need be!

Post a picture of your screen (Ctrl + Print Screen) but shrink a little if you can. The issue is most likely the fact that your picture is not filling the full field of your monitor. That is easily corrected within Windows XP, but I will have to dig into my old books.
Also advise of your screen / monitor size. If it is a wide screen and you are trying to post a square picture, you will have major difficulties.

It could be something embeded in the picture from where you edited/exported the file for the desktop image.
Post a pic and we can try to help.

You have web content enabled on your desktop. The little x means that the pic that was there once is no longer where the computer thinks it is. Anyway, somewhere on Display properties web content can be disabled. Or a click on the x may show a title bar that willow you to move and close the object.

Yeah, it shows adding, but it puts you in the right place. on step 3, just delete whatever is in that list. You won't kill the machine.
