Hiya folks!

I promise that I have tried everything in this forum, and this is
really frustrating me! I cant seem to get my desktop icons to have a
transparent background! Here is what I tried:

1. Tried enabling and disabling Active Desktop.
2. Tried the drop shadow setting in performance settings window.
3. The image I have in the background is a jpg image.
4. When I try the default Windows XP theme, the icons are also not
appearing with transparent backgrounds.

I think something is wrong with some hidden settings but I cant seem to
figure it out!

Any advice? (I am comfortable working with registry and advanced
features as long as a good step by step instructions are provided!)

Thank you!

Right click on an open spot on your Desktop.
From the menu that pops out, look under "Arrange Icons By" and make sure "Lock
Web Items on Desktop" is not checked.
If it is, click on it to remove the check mark.

If that doesn't help, check out this response from MS-MVP Malke Routh to a
similar question.
