Can anyone tell me why the appearance of my desktop changes every morning when I turn on the computer. Today it has a black edging around it even though it is set on stretch. The icons change places every day even thoughI reset them every day. Any ideas??

Do you have Active Desktop or Auto arrange icons turned on?

I have auto arrange turned on. Which should it be? Any ideas about the black edge around the screen?

Turn off auto arrange.
