Hi

My desktop icons have for some reason suddenly got a colored background! But
I want them transparent again! I've tried to uncheck the box of drop shadows
in the Performance thingie, but It doesn't help!

Click to expand...

That's because you want to CHECK that option.. not just Uncheck it.
(Cycling it is okay.)

Try TweakUI.
Try another account on your computer.
Try changing backgrounds.
 
Doesn't help...

Why does MS have to bug everything up...?
I don't know how they do it, but they do it.
 
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".
