I run xp pro sp1 and the icons on the desktop have a text
description under the icon with a background color. How
can I change from a background color to transparent?

Hi,

If you have web items enabled on the desktop, you will get the background
color on your icons. To disable the background we items, go to the display
properties/desktop tab/"customize"/web tab, uncheck the entries listed here.

Click to expand...

Control Panel - System - Advanced - in Performance click Settings
In the panel in Visual effects, check 'Use drop shadows for icon labels
on Desktop', near the bottom
