After installing XP, the icon captions have a transparent
background by default. I changed the desktop background
color and now can't get the caption backgrounds back to
being transparent. Is there a way?
 
Neither was the answer, but it gave me enough to go on.
The second was closest.. "use drop shadows for icon
labels on desktop" was already checked, but I tried a
couple other setting changes and on the third, I hit the
jackpot. I ended up unchecking "use a background image
for each folder type" and now it's beautiful again.

Thanks very much!

Unfortunately, the default icons don't have a transparent background..

so yeah, you're kinda stuck on that one...
