On the desktop? Is it a short cut or the bing bar in the taskbar? If its the latter, you can permanently remove the bing bar by doing the following.

Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog. Type appwiz.cpl and press Enter to open the Programs and Features window. Look for "Bing Bar" in the list of installed programs and uninstall it.

Thanks for that Stephen I already tried that but it did not appear on the list of apps. :help:

I am hoping I have solved the problem, I right clicked on the desk top, chose personalise and selected a picture other than the Bing ones. :)

arrrrr I get what it was now. I actually have an OLED monitor. These can suffer burn if there is a static image so I just have a blank black screen. Nothing on it. This in practice turns off the pixels enabling a longer life of the screen. Only needed on OLEDs
