How do I make the background of desktop icon text transparent?

Intended For Windows XP Windows 2000 Windows Me Windows 98 Windows 95

If you’re using desktop wallpaper, you’ll still see a border around your icon captions the same color as your solid background.
Here’s how to remove that border so that the text looks like it’s written right on your wallpaper:

Windows XP

• Open System Properties 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.
• You can also try MicroAngelo (v5.5 or later), which allows you to change the text color, configure custom icons, and change other aspects of Windows.
• Another utility of this type is WindowFX.

Windows 2000

• Obtain and install the Transparent utility.
• You can also try the "On Display" feature of MicroAngelo for lots of extra features.

Windows 95, 98, Me

• Obtain and install the Disappear utility (4 kb).  You’ll need VB40032.DLL (381 kb) if you don’t already have it.
• You can also try the "On Display" feature of MicroAngelo for lots of extra features.

Note: in all versions of Windows, Microsoft provides no way to
change the color of the text under desktop icons, which can make it
very difficult to read in some circumstances.
In Windows XP, the text has a shadow underneath, but this only goes so
far.
To change the font, open Display Properties in Control Panel, choose
the Appearance tab (then click Advanced in Windows XP only), and choose Icon from the Item menu.

hey hey hey what do we have here? i’ve been browsing sites and i found eLiTeWrap.

eLiTeWrap is an EXE wrapper, used to pack files into an archive executable that
can extract and execute them in specified ways when the packfile is run. For
example, you could create a setup program that would extract files to a
directory and execute programs or batch files to display help, copy files, etc.

TWO NAKED women “invaded” the annual Oblation
Run of the UP Alpha Phi Omega fraternity at the University of the
Philippines in Quezon City on Thursday, stealing the show from 20 male
streakers in their annual “Ritual Dance of the Brave.”

The naked
women, who wore wigs and masks, gamely posed for the cameras in front
of the Oblation at Quezon Hall at the UP Diliman campus.

The women surfaced just moments after APO streakers left the hall about 11:45 a.m.

Carrying
posters with the message: “Equal Rights for Women,” the women emerged
from a car in the parking lot and ran toward the Oblation.

The women did not say anything, but stayed just long enough to pose for photographers before fleeing toward a waiting car.

Makita kang muli - Sugarfree

Bawat sandali ng aking buhay
pagmamahal mo ang aking taglay
san man mapadpad ng hanging hindi
magbabago ang aking pagtingin

pangako natin sa may kapal
na tayo lamang sa habang buhay
maghintay…

CHORUS
ipaglalaban ko ang ating pag-ibig
maghintay ka lamang, ako’y darating
pagka’t sa isang taong mahal mo ng buong puso
lahat ay gagawin.
makita kang muli…
makita kang muli…

puso’y nagdudurusa, nangungulila
iniisip ka pag nag-iisa
inaalala mga sandali
ng tayo ay magkapiling

ikaw ang gabay sa aking twina
ang aking ilaw sa gabing mapanglaw
tanging ikaw

(chorus)

makita kang muli…
