You can make the background of the labels for the icons invisible at Control Panel - System - Advanced - in Performance click Settings - and in the panel (near bottom) check Use drop shadows under icon labels on Desktop.

Activated?

It's already checked. But the thingy is still there..

After searching for 2h. I finally found the answer..

here:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Four things are required for transparent icon backgrounds:

1) 'System Properties' -> 'Advanced' tab -> Performance 'Settings' ->
'Visual Effects' tab:
"use drop shadows for icon labels..." must be checked

2) Right-click on Desktop -> 'Arrange Icons by' -> "Lock Web items..." must
be CLEARED

3) If you have any web content on your desktop, transparency won't work.

To check for web content: Display Properties > Desktop tab > Customize
Desktop button > Web tab > make sure all checkboxes are clear.

4) Wallpaper must be an image file, not html.

Right click My Computer, select Properties.

Select Advanced tab.

Under Performance, click on Settings button. A new window will open.

Select Custom.

Tick this box: Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop

Click OK twice.

The picture files you use also have an effect... after some playing... I can't set back... Evil or Very Mad Crying or Very sad

Because I did 2 things:

1. In Photoshop, I created a picture with transparent background
2. Save the picture in PNG with interlacing

Re-saved the picture without interlace, the whole problem solved.
