icon display on desktop

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Control Panel, System, Advanced, Performance, Settings. Scroll down and check the box Use drop shadows.......... Also, if you have any Active Desktop content enabled, the icons will have the background instead of the shadows.
