Does anyone know hw to set the background icon text color(in win XP) to transparent??
I accidently changed it to some color and now it is possible to change to any other color,but not transparent..so how do i set it back to transparent?

We had a thread about this before here and several possible solutions were found - let us know, if one of them worked for you!

Thanks for that link..
Control Panel->System->Advanced tab->Perfirmance Settings->Use dropdown shadows for icon labels on the desktop(set checked !!) really worked for me !!
