Erm - I'm guessing you mean the blue boxes under each icon that contain the icon text....

If so - & you're using Xp -

• Right click on blank part of desktop
  Select 'Properties'
  Select 'Desktop' tag
  Near the bottom on the right you'll see a 'color' box - choose an appropriate colour from that (i.e. Black)
  Click on 'Apply'

Note that it will still be a 'box' around the text, but at least it'll match closer

Someone did something fishy with those settings or you did something odd in during installation.

It most likely happened after you went to a web page.

I think the SP 3 update caused that.

its still xp 2

( i re-installed xp )

It most likely happened after you went to a web page.

what kind of web page ?

I don't use antiviruses because I'm badass. Seriously, it's a waste of RAM and lowers performance which is exactly the opposite of what an Anti-Virus should do. I just don't download stupid things.
