I thought I had tried the updated code by you and Allen, but it appears I was using a cached older version from our MSN sharing Benny. Just copied / pasted the current code you have posted here with the updates from Allen $=SetFocus("Program Manager") $=SendKeys("{F5}") But the form is no longer working correctly period. The image ghost does now happen on my work system but the refresh does not remove it. In fact the code with the white lettering doesn't even show up on my screen until I do some other window interaction items, as though once it's lost focus the timer stops or something.

It's an option, and Doc mentioned it early on in this thread. The difficulty with Active Desktop is that in my experience it is usually disabled in the corporate environment because of the problems it causes. That's indeed correct. I haven't seen it enabled for any of our customers. And I missed that it had been mentioned earlier. Tho - the concept of having that kind of 'background' is kind of smart (but, I still love my post-its.. what would my desk be without 'em? =). _________________________ as long as it works - why fix it? If it doesn't work - kix-it!
