O.P. Desktop problem [FIXED]
Well, my computer just got infested of spyware/adware/malware. I won't go on details on how it got into my computer but now the problem is my desktop: now my icons aren't transparent!
I rebooted my computer, checked viruses, adware/malware/spyware and now it's supposed to be clean, but still can't fix it. Any thoughts?

RE: Desktop problem
If you use Windows XP-
Right-click on the Desktop>Arrange Icons By>Lock Desktop Icons/Web Items on Desktop. Untick the option to make them transparent.
This should solve your problem.
Edit: it is not called transparent.

RE: Desktop problem
Well if you are using somekind of tweak XP, that would be causing this problem.
I experienced once the same thing on of my pcs, and at that time, there was a tweak xp installed and it has modified the desktop icons.

RE: Desktop problem
My guess: you have web content on your desktop
right click> properties
desktop tab
[customise desktop]
web tab
uncheck all items.
ok, ok, should be back to normal.
