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.

recently used programmes is now a white blank box. whats happened? how do i

Hello Ash and Rudy,
You may have turned on the "Use check boxes to select items" option by

will not have that box anymore.
