If you're talking about the box below the icon showing instead of just
the name, so that the box is transparent, right-click My Computer =>
Properties => Advanced tab => Performance section => Settings button
Check the box (near the bottom of the list) 'Use drop shadows for icon
labels on the desktop'.

Four things are needed for transparent icon backgrounds:
1. System Properties | Advanced | Performance Settings | Visual Effects.
Check “Use drop shadows for icon labelsâ€.
2. Right click on a blank are of the desktop Desktop | Arrange Icons by |
Lock web items must be cleared.
3) Remove any web content from the desktop. Right click a blank are of the
Desktop | Properties | Desktop | Customize Desktop | Web. Make sure all
check boxes are clear.
4) Wallpaper must be an image file, not html.
