Icon Labels: drop shadow effect

[Guest]

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.
