Yeah.. reinstalling windows is pretty drastic:p

[Eski]

Maybe, but I hate this sh*t where you think have sorted a problem out, and then a few days later, it comes back. It my be a bit drastic but IMO its very effective. Sorta like a mini FU pc, u will do as ur told!

I Hope this helps you


How do I make the background of desktop icon text transparent?

If you're using desktop wallpaper, you'll still see a border around your icon captions the same color as your solid background. Here's how to remove that border so that the text looks like it's written right on your wallpaper:

Windows XP

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.
You can also try MicroAngelo (v5.5 or later), which allows you to change the text color, configure custom icons, and change other aspects of Windows.
Another utility of this type is WindowFX.

Windows 2000

Obtain and install the Transparent utility.
You can also try the "On Display" feature of MicroAngelo for lots of extra features.

Windows 95, 98, Me

Obtain and install the Disappear utility (4 kb). You'll need VB40032.DLL(381 kb) if you don't already have it.
You can also try the "On Display" feature of MicroAngelo for lots of extra features.

Note: in all versions of Windows, Microsoft provides no way to change the color of the text under desktop icons, which can make it very difficult to read in some circumstances. In Windows XP, the text has a shadow underneath, but this only goes so far. To change the font, open Display Properties in Control Panel, choose the Appearance tab (then click Advanced in Windows XP only), and choose Icon from the Item menu.

*sigh* I tried to be nice and help this guy out, but he didn't even bother to tell me he'd fixed it (by making a new Windows account and leaving the old one). Thanks for the suggestions anyway guys, and I won't be spending my Christmas helping him get rid of adware again >.<

Well,

Mine wasn't really a suggestion seeing as I had the same problem on 3 different computers . But, it's no problem, i'll try to help as much as i can.
