recently my computer crashed, and the next time i booted up, every file,
folder, icon and shortcut now has a small tick box (check box) in the upper
left corner. it doesn't make a lot of difference, however it is annoying and
i dont know how to change it.

also, when i click on the start menu, the are that usually shows all my
recently used programmes is now a white blank box. whats happened? how do i
fix this?
Hello Ash and Rudy,

You may have turned on the "Use check boxes to select items" option by mistake. This tutorial will show you how to turn it off so your icons will not have that box anymore.
