Desktop Icon appearance

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

Using Windows XP theme, the Icon names did have clear background with
shadowing on lettering. Now, writng and icon outline has solid color. Any
suggestions on restoring it - couldn't see anything in display.
