Actually, your "Classic" comment is not true. We have not used the
"Classic" for years and still put our own images on the desktop. We
were using the PC just ten minutes ago, not involved in any settings
windows, and the damned transparent labels disappearred. I have
double-checked all of our settings, to no avail. Unfortunately, I
cannot remember how in the world we resolved this issue in the past
(it has happened before).


You still appear to have problems in understanding that this newsgroup is
for those running the Win Me operating system rather than for those
running XP. My earlier post still stands as to what is required to enable
transparent labels, that is:

System Properties | Advanced | Performance Settings | VisualEffects and
check the box "use drop shadows for icon labels".

If you use Classic View this is all that is required, however if you use
eyecandy view then play away at the various settings all you want. Oh,
and my Classic View comment IS correct, however since you are running in
eyecandy mode then as I say, you have many other settings to play with as
well but nevertheless ensure that you have "use drop shadows for icon
labels" checked.
