The labels/names of the icons displayed on the window desktop,
instead of having the letters with the "drop shadow effect"(white
coloured lettering/font with black shadow under the lettering),
turned into "letters on plain rectangles (white colour
lettering/font on blue coloured rectangles, in my case)". If you
don't understand what I meant, I have the pdf file with the
print-screen picture to show you... just wondering if I can turn
the "drop shadow effect" back on! Thank you very much for your help.


Do *all* of the following:
1) Hold down the Windows key and press Pause/Break. On the
"Advanced" tab, under "Performance" click "Settings." On the "Visual
Effects" tab, make sure the box "Use drop shadows for icon labels"
is checked

2) Right-click on the Desktop, and make sure that "Arrange Icons by"
"Lock Web items" is not checked.

3) Right-click on the Desktop, and choose Properties. Othe "Desktop"
tab, click "Customize Desktop," then on the "Web" tab, uncheck all
boxes.

4) Make sure any Wallpaper is an image file. Html will stop the
transparency.
