The text thing on desktop

[Guest]

Ok I want to know how to change the text on the icons on the desktop to
transparent that way when i change wallpaper i dont need to change the color
as well. Not the actual text but the backround. Some computers i have seen
have them transparent. But not mine. I want to fix it, but i dunno how.

Control Panel -> System
Advanced tab -> Performance Settings button..
Make sure "Use Drop Shadows for Icons on the Desktop" is checked.

Can you get to the System window? Tabs across the top (General, etc)?
Is there an advanced tab?
Are you logged onto the machine as an administrator?
Is this a home machine - not one in a domain?

Control Panel -> System --> Advanced tab -> Performance Settings button..
