It’s sometimes annoying to see the edges and background of desktop icons stick out and spoil all the charm of that cool wallpaper you set.

Go to Control Panel / System / Advanced / Performance Tab / Settings Button and put a checkmark in: Use Drop Shadows for Icon Labels on the Desktop
Presto! That should do the magic.
