Find this key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\Components]
And check the value of 'GeneralFlags' in this key: if I have AD disabled, it has value '4', with AD enabled it's '0'.
This is just to make sure that Active Desktop is actually turned on... Because there might be something else causing the opaque icon text background...
If AD is turned on, try this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSetActiveDesktop"=dword:40
This policy prevents active desktop from being used by the current user, it probably needs a reboot... Of course this local policy may not apply if you are on a domain...
I'm glad this thread is in "General Discussion"
