Try setting it manually...

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]

I use Iconoid on my laptop with no issue. Want to use it on desktop (both XP sp3). It requires that in order to set text color and background color on icons that drop shadows be unchecked. Every time I do it, at re-boot it is checked again, and of course Iconoid cannot display as I wanted. Wallpaper is .bmp file, no web content on desktop, no locked icons, nothing I can see that should prevent it from displaying correctly. I've read up on various patches, hacks, tricks, butnothing has made it work. Each time at re-boot that boxed is again checked (though not on my laptop's setup). Any ideas on how to make this simple trick work? TIA.
