Hi,
I have xp home on my son's computer and his desktop icons have a dark blue
color behind the icon name. I have tried everything I can think of to make
it only show the letters and not a color. I cannot figure it out, there is
no transparency color selection on anything I can find in properties. He
doesn't want his words to have a blue background behind the icon name, he
wants it with the letters only like on my computer. Help please :-) Thank
you!

To have transparent icons:
1) Hold down the Windows key and press Pause/Break. On the "Advanced"
tab, under "Performance" click "Settings." On the "Visual Effects"
tab, make sure the box "Use drop shadows for icon labels" is checked.
2) Right-click on the Desktop, and make sure that "Arrange Icons by"
"Lock Web items" is not checked.
