This works: Go to control panel - double click system choose advanced tab Click on settings within the performance box Make sure 'use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop' is ticked. If not; tick and click apply, then ok and this should have reverted back, If not and the box was already ticked, try unticking it, apply, then ok and then restart the process over again Another thing to try: right click on the desktop go to arrange icons by and scroll down to 'lock web items on desktop' this should not be ticked. Hope this helps
