How do you check if the program is using active desktop or not?
I right clicked on the program .exe file in the program folder on the "C" but could
not find any such option that would indicate linkage.
My problem with transparent-drop-shadow beneath desktop icons started when I draged
a picture from a MS Word document to a desktop. That action instanly caused my transparent-drop
shadow efect to go bue-bue and instead, the ugly rectangulars showed up. I am afraid
permanetly...(Don't you hate that? ) Now, so far, I checked and tried ALL, and I
mean ALL mentioned options which are offered (as a soulution) here and on few other
sites, and the cool drop shadow efect is still not coming back. My desktop picture
is JPG nad it worked fine with the efect before I draged that picture forma Word
document. I even tried to convert this picture in more Window friendly BMP picture
and is still not working so i switched back to JPG. Having those rectangular boxes
is so anoying, I wish someone would have a better, new idea that would work.
(I even reinstalled Windows XP (not a fresh install), lost SP2 and even that didn't
fix the problem) Any new idea , perhaps regisry fix or something else?
