Desktop Icons
Hi, I need to know how to remove the shaded boxes below my desktop Icons, for
example, My computer, has a colored "box" around the text. I want to remove that, in other words, I just want the text there, not the box around it. Please help. Hopefully I explained what I mean, lol. |

Desktop Icons
Desktop icons and icon labels may not display background transparency or the
drop shadow effect in Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=305117 Additional note, from Keith Miller: Four things are required for transparent icon backgrounds: 1) 'System Properties' - 'Advanced' tab - Performance 'Settings' - 'Visual Effects' tab: "use drop shadows for icon labels..." must be checked 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 tab Customize Desktop button Web tab make sure all checkboxes are clear. 4) Wallpaper must be an image file, not html. -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows XP Shell/User] Windows® XP Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "purplepisces67" wrote in message ...
