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

Greetings,

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 !!
