Transparent Icons on Desktop
How do you change you icons to be transparent on the desktop so that they do not distort your desktop wallpaper?

Re: Transparent Icons on Desktop
Hi,Right click your My Computer, and then go to Properties.
Then click on the Advanced tab, and then click on the Performance settings
button.
Now make sure the checkmark box "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the
desktop" has a check mark.

Hi Mike,Checkpoints to consider:
1) Right click on desktop >> arrange icons by >> uncheck "Lock Web items on desktop"
2) Right click on My Computer >> Properties >> Advanced tab >> Settings under 'Performance' >> check
"Use drop shadows for icon labels on desktop".

Re: Transparent icons on desktop
As Anando pointed out the 2 things to do but there is also a third for thosethat have a Video card with dual monitor capabilities....turn the second
monitor activity off. If your second monitor is simply turned off, that will
not do.
