Desktop background proublem

[Guest]

On my desktop there is a blue color underneath all the words and shadows some
of the icons. I can change the color in the display Properties under the
desktop tab where it says color? I want to know how to make this color go
away it was not there for a long time but one day it gust appeared. Any help
would be very appreciated. If you would like to see what am taking about go
here http://www.geocities.com/mek_mek10/ there is a picture.

Thanks in advance

Thanks but the problem is still there

Start/Control Panel/System/Advanced/Performance/Settings/ Visual
Effects/"Use drop shadows for icon labels on the Desktop"

Also:

Right click the desktop and select Arrange Icons by. Towards the bottom of
that list, uncheck "Lock web items on the desktop."

Other than that, match the color via more colors.
