I think you mean have a transparent background for icon text on the desktop...
Right-click My Computer and select Properties. Click the Advanced tab and then the Settings button within the Performance box. Near the bottom of the items in the list-box, you'll find Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop - make sure there's a tick (checkmark) in the box for this option. Click Apply and then OK all the way back to the desktop.
If this hasn't worked, right-click any space on the desktop, point to Arrange icons by and make sure that Lock web items on desktop is not ticked (checked)
