DESKTOP ICONS

The background behind my desktop icons is now a darkgray as when before it was transparent.
What happened was my whole screen display reverted to windows classic (i think) i managed to get everything else back to the way it was apart from the desktop icons.
Could anyone give me apointer in the right direction?

Thanks.

 

You could try - Control Panel - Display - Display properities - Background

 

Thanks mate, but i cant find transparent colour, would you know the figures for this?

 

Its ok, got it sorted, Drop Shadows was unchecked.
Thanks for your help mate.

Right click My Computer, Properties. Advanced tab. Settings button under Performance. Second to last check box..."Use drop shadows....."
