Question about 'How do I make the background of desktop icon text transparent?' Sunday, October 31, 2004 at 4:00 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Fabio R. V. (2 messages posted) I have a question about How do I make the background of desktop icon text transparent?: Go to Start Menu --> Run --> regedit.exe (be careful when using this, if you mess up with it you may need to re-install your Windows, please make a beackup of the registry information before continuing) . Go to the falowing key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] Find: "ListviewShadow", change it to 1 (double-click it and change), close regedit Log-Off Windows and Log-On again or reboot it. Simple as that. OBS: It should work for Win 9x/ME/2000 also. Responses to this message: The Answer Is .....
