re: Transparent Labels for Desktop Icons Monday, September 24, 2001 at 3:59 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by TonyW (174 messages posted) In Win 9x and W2K, I always had a small 25 Kb *.exe file in the start-up menu that performed this function, so it was there when I installed WinXP over a W2K installation. This only worked if Active Desktop was OFF. If this function is inbuilt into XP, I suggest you have now got your desktop set to Active? (The file concerned otherwise, is and should be found be doing a search on ther net. If you have problems, e-mail me direct and I'll send it to you.)
