Hi,
Help needed with my desktop icons. Recently behind the majority of my
desktop icons a white square which is consistent in size with all affected
icons has appeared and behind the icon does not look transparent anymore,
could anyone help me with this please???
Many thanks in advance.
 
Right click My Computer and select Properties->Advanced Tab->Performance
section->Settings button->Visual effects Tab. Scroll down and ensure you
have the following box checked "Use drop shadows for icon labels on
desktop." Click Apply and OK out of there.

To have transparent icons.

1) Hold down the Windows key and press Pause/Break. On the "Advanced" tab,
under "Performance" click "Settings." On the "Visual Effects" tab, make sure
the box "Use drop shadows for icon labels" is checked

2) Right-click on the Desktop, and make sure that "Arrange Icons by" "Lock
Web items" is not checked.

3) Right-click on the Desktop, and choose Properties. Othe "Desktop" tab,
click "Customize Desktop," then on the "Web" tab, uncheck all boxes.

4) Make sure any Wallpaper is an image file. Html will stop the
transparency.
