SOLVED Paste button stuck on desktop

[danperteet]

Well the title is actually a little joke about my problem.
I have this problem quite a bit. So I figure other people have had it as well.

It seems funny, but I have tried closing windows, Restarting the Windows Explorer process, Locking the computer, but it doesn't seem to help. I can't really log out, because I have important stuff open, So is there a fix for this, that will not require me to close everything?

LOL - It's there just in case you have forgotten how

Have you tried clearing out your temp files / other related cache items?
Maybe blasting the desktop with F5?
Have you closed out of any services that don't need to be running?

I'd suggest when you have the chance to just restart your computer.

You have some progs runnin there whch I am not acquainted with. Any of them could be producing it. Have you tried looking under the startup tab in Msconfig, to see if you can identify the bug?

It did cross my mind that it might be also part of the wallpaper/theme. What about experimenting thyere to see if it vanishes?

I am going to try and clear all the temp files. I will look in msconfig after that. I know it is prolly not theme related. I had no idea you could F5 the desktop. Is that a new feature? I've been using computers since Windows 95, and have never F5ed the desktop.
EDIT: It is on top of whatever I decide to run, So it is annoying.
EDIT2: Sorry Dave. I changed to another theme, and switched back to mine. That did fix it. Now to Thank You and mark this as solved.

Have you had the problem for a while?
Are you up to date with all your windows updates?
The earlier problems were solved by changing desktop backgrounds. Have you tried this?
What AV are you using if any?
Have you run any malware scans?
Post some computer specs and let us know if you upgraded or clean installed or bought your computer with W7 installed.
