Need help with my desktop !!!

Here's what happened ...

I had to take a screen shot on internet explorer. I did "print screen", than I pasted the screen shot in Word. I also wanted to save the picture alone on my desktop, so I copied the screen shot that was on Word, I closed Word than pasted it on my desktop. A window appeared ... it said:

- "In order to add this item to your Active Desktop, you need to save a copy of the picture. Do you want to continue ?" I clicked "YES"

than I saved it on my desktop. Than another window appeared. It asked me if I want to create an active desktop of my item (or something like that ...), I clicked "YES".

Now here's the problem: all my icons on my desktop got surronded by a blue "shadow" (see picture)

Before, they were not surronded by this blue "shadow, it was like this (thanks to speedyink on the forum for the picture)

Now what sould I do to get my desktop back like in the second picture ?

Thanks alot !!!

"so I copied the screen shot that was on Word, I closed Word than pasted it on my desktop":this is wrong.You should open Paint,paste the screenshot there,and save the image to your hard disk.
