I have a question about How 
do I make the background of desktop icon text transparent?:


i did as follows.
system properties>>advanced tab>>performance>>settings>>checked use drop shadow for 
icon labels on the desktop. 

it did not work on my laptop. it worked on my desktop but not on my laptop. i am 
going out of my wits trying to figure out what is wrong. pls help.

i am using windows xp. i am using my own wallpaper and the background colour is blue 
therefore the fonts are white with a blue background on my wallpaper and it looks 
seriously disgusting. pls help. :(

thank you.
