    Its a common problem and many people ask about it from time to time and many times they dont get very good or the right answers on how to fix it.
    I had this problem myself so i decided to ask some of the experts, or at least i consider them to be. I asked over at Neowin ;)
    Here is what i got told, and yes it worked.

    Go to your Control Panel
    Click the System icon/link
    Click on the Advanced tab
    Click the Performance button
    Find "Use drop shadows on desktop icons" near the bottom of the list and make sure it is Checked

    Thanks k22 for this. It really helped me out and im sure it will help others :)

    It works but it also slows computer performance (when starting up)

    yeah, it's not that much, just takes a few extra seconds, not bad.

    i have it on my comp like that, and it goes fine...
