Hi, I tried this, but it did not solve the problem for me. What I had to do in my case was delete a file that I had somehow added to my Active Directory. I went to Display Properties > Desktop > Customize Desktop > Web. There I noticed a weird image file. The only one I needed there was "My Current Home Page". I checked and deleted the weird image file. Then I went back to Performance Options (as mentioned in this article), rechecked the "use drop shadows for icon labels on the destop" checkbox, and shazam, my problem was fixed. Hope this helps others too. Regards, Somaiah.
