Lessee... icons and their labels... I think all they have is the text and the picture pixels themselves.. the rest of the icon image is blank out to its borders, so it is transparent. When you apply drop shadows you are actually addingsomething to the text outlines [a white shadow] which also occludes the background. What I am trying to say is that you must be seeing through your background also ie past your bitmap [I love that karst topography..] to the [uncoloured - black] desktop background. ie your background image has holes in it.
Internet explorer keys are also involved in the desktop, as well as the obvious explorer keys... well, it has to be, cos you can load a web site as background image. Desktop settings are HKLM and HKCU, well, if the latter exist they override the HKLM settings. If instead of the windows key you check the internet explorer key you will see your background image there, plus other names related to the display. Is it a bitmap, or is it html? Cos an html image will have holes so you can see through to the black or whatever colour you set for the Colour in Display Properties, Desktop.
