I just bought a MESH computer and its got sizeable 'MESH computers plc' logo in the top right of the desktop.
Anyone know how to get rid of it ? cos I've tried everything I can think of without success.
😕

It looks like some sort of overlay i.e. you can see the desktop picture through it.
Running MS Windoes XP (home edition).

I dunno Colleman, cos I don't have XP, but it might have something to do with active desktop. Can u get a screen grab (CTRL + Print Screen) and host it somewhere?

I tried Ctrl & print screen but nothing happens.
Thanks for your time anyway - perhaps Russ will be able to help.
Its really bugging me.

Thanks for trying to help. I've uploaded a picture to

When you mentioned active desktop earlier I went looking but can't find it. MS give three methods of enabling/disabling active desktop and I've tried all three but have not come across it anywhere. My 'on board' help does say it comes disabled by default.

However if I enable it I can use my home page as my desktop which hides the logo but makes the desktop less interesting. Perhaps I can play about with my home page somehow but I sure would like to get rid of it.
Many thanks for your help

-Right click anywhere empty on your desktop. Select properties.
-Display properties dialog appears.
-Select 'desktop' tab.
-select 'background' image.
They could have branded all the default images, so try one of your own photos.

Thanks for taking an interest.
It is superimposed on all the background pictures except those horrible ones like 'blue lace' etc which seem to obliterate it.
Have you been to the photobucket site mentioned above to see what it looks like?

Originally posted by RagnorakYes it is, with some exceptions like 'coffee bean' , 'greenstone' etc which seem to obliterate it.
Good point.
When you're selecting a new background, and u see the wee sample, is the logo on the sample as well?
If so, then Russ has hit the nail on the head.

Many thanks. I've dowloaded a picture from www.webshots.com and there is no logo.
I appreciate all the help.
