Removing Icon Text Background

Regular Visitor

I just changed my wallpaper and all of a sudden my HDD icons have a background on their titles.
I've tried all the fixes I can find: enabling drop shadow use, locking web items on desktop, everything I could find on Google, to no avail.
Anyone else had this happen to them?
Anyone else get it to go away?

Here's what I'm talking about:

That can happen when the wallpaper's resolution is too high for your screen.
1- Try resizing it OR
2- Display Properties -> Desktop -> Customize Desktop -> Web ... Make sure the "Lock desktop items" is unchecked
3- Check the Use Drop Shadows option

Ah, it was probably the wallpaper's resolution, but I've already deleted the icons so it's not a problem now. smile
