That's quit odd then Cookie, I'm not saying your wrong, but the image I was using, I just edited slightly in photoshop (no transparency tools used, just fixed some red-eye in a photo and a few touch up's) I set the picture as a background and my icons became non-transparent.

[go to
System Propieties -> Advanced options -> On Performance section

and find "use drop shadows for icon labels on desktop" check that]

I did that and it was already checked.

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

This also was already disabled.

I opened the file, chaned it to .JPG and that fixed it.
