Thanks for the response,

The image looks like Black and white concentric rectangles, there is no name
against it and I cannot select it (to remove) it covers several pages. I
found a thing on Kelly's about removing WHITE space in add Remove programs
but in my case it is not white space so I am not sure if the fix would work.
It involves going into the Registry to hunt out a negative value in
"DisplayIcon" ...
