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 and icon labels may not display background transparency or the
drop shadow effect in Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP:

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.
