    I need help with my desktop icons. Somehow, all of them have rectangle boxes around the name of the icon. Cannot get them to revert to their clear original state. I have tried right click on control panel and gone into display folder. There appear to be fixes there, but they will not work for my problem. Might I have corrupt icon files? Thanks to anyone who can help.

    Open System Properties in Control Panel, choose the Advanced tab, and click Settings in the Performance section. Turn on the "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop" option, and click Ok.
