Hi Wildflower,

Are you saying it is highlighted like you have clicked on it? First thing, I'd try is clicking on it a second time. If that doesn't work, I'd try rebooting the computer. That should clear up whatever strangeness is going on!

Hopefully this helps!

Thank you Matt G,

Thank you for your help. I tried re booting that did not work. Here is what worked:

Open Control Panel 

   click on Display
       "    "  desktop
       "    "     customize desktop
       "     "       desktop items
       "     "          web
                            uncheck any sites listed

Hope this helps others.
