How to remove the colors around icon-Desktop

How do you remove the gray colors around the text and icon? This computer is new, and I forgot how to do that. Any help would be awsome

Thanks in advance

Control Panel - System - Advanced - Performance, click Settings -
bottom of the panel, check 'Use drop shadows under icon titles on
Desktop'

I tried that, it didn't work

Any more methods?

ensure that...
the "Lock Web items to grid" under "arange icons by" when you right click
the desktop is not enabled..

I accidently unchecked the "Show Icon In Desktop" when you right click->arrange icons by.
How do you make the icons appear again?

Just recheck it.

Right-Click doesn't show up the mini-menu now. I can't chose it again.

Try a System Restore to a point prior to the problem:

start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
