Right click on your desktop and go to properties. Then click the Appearance
tab on the top and click adavanced. Go to the drop down entitled "item" and
click icon. From there you can customize the icon color, font and size.

Right-click on your desktop and select:

Properties > Desktop > Customize Desktop > Web (tab)
and uncheck "Lock Desktop Items", click OK and APPLY.

Also, check this setting:

Right-click MY COMPUTER and select:
Properties > Advanced > Performance settings >
Visual Effects, place a check next to "Use Drop Shadows
for Icon Labels on the Desktop", then click "apply".

Help! I've got the same problem with blue shadows and blocks of text under my
icons on the desktop. I heard it might be due to my active desktop, but
unable to fix. Can you please help? Thanks

Desktop icons and icon labels may not display background transparency or the
drop shadow effect in Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP:
