O.P. Desktop Icons
how do you set them back to transparent, mine have coloured backgrounds on them all of a sudden, and its quiet irritating. Ive fixed it before, but i forgot how.

Cause 1 (as Joa said):
If you have "Active Dekstop" Enabled

Fix:
Disable "Active Desktop":
* Uncheck "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop" in Control Panel > System Properties > Advanced > Performance > Settings



Cause 2 (as monster.rat said):
You have enabled "Lock Web Items on Desktop" feature

Fix:
Disable "Lock Web Items on Desktop":
* Right click on your desktop and choose "Arrange Icons", there uncheck "Lock Web Items on Desktop"
