Background Transparency and Drop Shadows Do Not Display on Desktop Icons

[FUgly]

i did what the kb article i found on microsoft page

and still i can't get the transparency to work
what is weird tho is i have 3 profiles in my machine and two are xperiencing it but not the one
is there any tweak or editing on registry to make it work
tnx

You did check: Control Panel/System/Advanced/Performance/Settings/Visual Effects/"Use drop shadows for icon labels on the Desktop"?

the only profile that is working is not the admin
mine is the admin and how ever i click the lock desktop stil the same
i did the whole 9 yds

what's so odd was when i first logged in to my profile the shadows and transparency weren't showing at all. i tried clicking them with no avail. and when i created the other profile there it was every icon on the dektop have shadows and the titles are transparent. then i created the third profile there it was again same as my profile. no shadows no transparency
any one?
thanks

I had a similar problem, I download Microangelo 5.5 and theres a setting there that fixed the transparency
