Right click on the desktop - select properties - go to the "themes" tab and select Windows XP from the drop down list - say ok to that.

Then go to the desktop tab and select "noe" in the wallpaper selection list - say ok to that.

Go back to the desktop tab and select your wallpaper - that should do it.

Welcome to the Forums FlowerBabe25

Actually, the answer could be much simpler:

Open "System" 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.

He is asking that you don't use capital letters in the forum (in Internet terms it is considered shouting). Thanks

Did you try what Mazz suggested?
