I have the same problem as that one boy. I went through the control panel>system>performance step mentioned but the solid blocks refuse to go away is there any other way to make them go away? TY

[quote][b]that one kid (2/3/2007)[/b][hr]Ok the best way to explain this? Hmm. Well, you know the titles/names of folders on the desktop (right below the file) well my problem involves those. You see I have a picture for a background and the area that the titles/names takes up disrupts this background image by placing an ugly solid colored box. It hasn’t always been like this. So I am to assume that I did something, but what do I do to turn it off. I want to the picture beneath the lettering of the titles/names. Thank you for your help. I use win xp sp2, if pictures would help just ask.[/quote]

Open the System applet in Control Panel > select the Advanced tab > Performance (Settings) and put a checkmark next to "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop" and Apply.
