Icon Backgrounds on XP(HELP!)

[—§urfÅceЗ]

Okay this happened once before, but when i reinstalled windows for another reason, it went back to normal. Today, i noticed that all of the icons on my desktop have a colored box around their text. I hate this because it makes my background ugly no matter what it is (besides a solid color.) Someone, please help me.

Open System Properties in Control Panel, choose the Advanced tab, and click Settings in the Performance section. Turn on the Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop option, and click Ok.
