I am using the Windows XP default setting on my computer but now I see the
font below the icons are no longer a 3-D appearance rather it now has a
color background behind each font, how can I get back to the original
appearance? Bob

Hi Bob,

Transparent Icons:

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."

Tip: Transparent text under icons - ALT+0160
