For those of you who could not get your desktop icons trasnparent after all trying
all the available methods, this is for you.
First of all disable drop shadows in system properties, advanced, performace settings.
Then disable Active Desktop.
For some reason I was unable to disable AD from the windows context menus so I used
this fix:

(Good site by the way)
Then I got Iconoid (Free icon and tweaking tool):

Once you have iconoid open go to the first tab, and if you
disabled the things I listed, you should be able to select transparent and then apply
it and boom your icon background should be gone.
