My boss wants to remove the color behind names of icons
listed on the desktop. I figured out how to changes the
color of the box the words are in, but he wants it clear,
no color, clear where the background image can be seen.
Is this possible?
 
Right-click on your desktop and select:

Properties > Desktop > Customize Desktop > Web (tab)
and uncheck "Lock Desktop Items", click OK and APPLY.

Also, check this setting:

Right-click MY COMPUTER and select:
Properties > Advanced > Performance settings >
Visual Effects, place a check next to "Use Drop Shadows
for Icon Labels on the Desktop", then click "apply".
