removing rectangle under windows XP icons

[Guest]

My new HP 930 PC shows a black rectangle under the names of desk top icons
behind the name letters.
I tried all the settings in control panel such as remove shadows under icons
but no help. I set it to clear type fonts and still the same.

I have an old sw that I used with win98, but it's still ok with winxp
it's transtext, it removes the background rectangle and you can choose the
desktop lettering color

just look for trtext.exe

Click on the Settings button in the Performance section
Check the "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop"
either that or check the 'Show shadows under menus' box ...
(maybe both ?)
That should do it.
