desktop shortcut icon

I'm at an impasse. How do how change my desktop icons so that the titles
under the icons are clear rather than in a solid script box??? Many thanks.

Control Panel / System / Advanced / Performance - Settings Button and put a
checkmark in: Use Drop Shadows for Icon Labels on the Desktop

To have transparent icons:

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.
