Background Transparency and Drop Shadows Do Not Display on Desktop Icons
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;305117&Product=winxp

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".
