Lablefieldsof desktop icons

[Helge Haensel]

Hallo NG!

On a sudden during editing of a *.doc-file the backgrounds of the
lablefields below desktop icons switched to blue. How can I
return that to transparent as it was? Settings in controlpanel/display
didnt help.
WindowsXP/HE SP2

I don't know why this should have happened suddenly when you were simply
working in Word. First, try a System Restore to when everything worked.
Otherwise, here are the settings necessary to enable the transparency:

Open the System applet in Control Panel, choose the Advanced tab, and
click Settings in the Performance section. Turn on the "Use drop
shadows for icon labels on the desktop option", and click Ok.

Four things are required for transparent icon backgrounds:

1) System Properties>Advanced>Performance Settings>VisualEffects - check
"use drop shadows for icon labels".

2) Right-click on Desktop ->Arrange Icons by>Lock Web items must be
cleared.

3) If you have any web content on your desktop, transparency won't work.
To check for web content: Display Properties>Desktop>Customize
Desktop>Web - make sure all checkboxes are clear.

4) Wallpaper must be an image file, not html.

I'm glad the System Restore fixed things for you. Thanks for taking the
