Right-click on your desktop and select:

Properties > Desktop > Customize Desktop > Web (tab)
and uncheck "Lock Desktop Items", click OK and APPLY.

Also, check this setting:

Right-click MY COMPUTER and select:
Properties > Advanced > Performance settings >
Visual Effects, place a check next to "Use Drop Shadows
for Icon Labels on the Desktop", then click "apply".

Could this be drop shadows?
right click My Computer > Properties > Advanced tab,
Under performance click the settings button,
Under visual effects tab, scroll down to "Use drop
shadows for icon labels on the desktop" and check the box.
Drop shadows will make the icon text background the color
of your wallpaper.
