Re: make desktop icon labels transparent?

I have a similar problem... my icons were transparent until just a few days ago -- and I can't figure out what I could have done to change that! I've clicked on the suggested box time and time again, rebooting, etc., but my icons insist on retaining the "background" color. Even more irritating is that little background shadow around each of the folders.

Why won't my computer (windows XP) respond to this command any longer?
