|  Shadows under desktop icons :(
Hello guys,
I already ran a google search for this one. Tried all the solutions which include:
1) System Information > Advanced > Performance Settings > Show shadows under icons is unchecked
2) Desktop > Properties > Desktop > Customize Desktop > Web . Everything is unchecked!
I dont understand it. I just temporarily changed my 7600GT for a 7600GS, booted my PC, and windows ran a hardware check, and didnt successfully install the drivers (as usual). I rebooted, and apparently my Nvidia drivers were now recognized, and the shadows were under the icons! Its really getting on my nerves. I even tried TweakXP and chose the option to repair the icons, but to no avail 
Can anyone point me in the right direction for fixing this issue??

System Information > Advanced > Performance Settings > Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop.
Uncheck it.
Right-click Desktop > Arrange Icons By > Lock Web Items on Desktop. Try that too.

Hey Bipolar.
Already did those steps. Problem still persists.
The wallpaper is also of JPG format. This is really annoying!

I'm thinking the driver install did not go well. I would try using Detonator Destroyer and do a clean reinstall of the video driver. Follow the instructions closely to remove all traces of the old drivers.
I'm not sure I understand your complaint that the wallpaper is in jpg format. What do you mean by that? Any jpg can be set to wallpaper.
