remove blue background on desktop icons

Very often people get stuck at the problem of blue background on desktop icons if they change their themes. And most of the people do this -


Right-click "My Computer" and choose Properties to bring up the Systems Properties window. 

Select the "Advanced" tab. Under "Performance" click the "Settings" button. 

This will bring up the Performance Options window. 

Under the "Visual Options" tab, click the "Custom" radio button. 

You'll see a list of check boxes. 

Check off the one that says, "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop". 

Then "Apply" or "OK" to make the change.

But i have seen people reporting that this method is not working. So what to do now?
Well not a big deal. First do this and it it does not fix the problem then just restart your pc and then do it again and it will surely fix it.

Keep your pc always new with ccleaner

You must have experienced that when you bought your brand new pc, it ran like a supersonic jet and after continuous use for about 1 or 2 years or even less it has started running like a glider. It also started giving error messages. What's gone wrong? Well, your pc also needs maintenance time to time like your car. So here is your pc mechanic - ccleaner. A very small and free software.
