Help Please!?

On my desktop, up until recently, my icons have began to have a blue pixelated hard shadow behind them, which looks extremely ugly and is annoying me.

I've tried changing background pictures to ones that are a darker shade, more akin to that of the problematic "shadows", but they won't seem to go away.

I've trauled through Windows display options, but I can't seem to fix the problem.

I'm using Windows XP Service Pack 2 and have included a piture of my icons wit annoying problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You stumped me for a second. :D I remember changing that all the time in Win98.

In XP though:
Control Panel > System > Advanced Tab > Performance Settings > Check "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop"
