This is how they look now.

This is how I want them to look.

I can't remember when or how they got like that...:confused:

This is what I've tried but it didn't fix it.

1) Right-clicked My Computer>Properties>Advanced tab>Performance Settings>Visual Effects tab, made sure the box "Use drop shadows for icon labels" is checked.

2) Right-clicked on the Desktop>Arrange Icons by, made sure "Lock Web items" was not checked.

3) Right-clicked on the Desktop>Properties>Desktop tab>Customize Desktop>Web tab, made sure all boxes were unchecked.

4) Made my wallpaper an image file.

Thank you for any help.
