1. Right click on My computer
2. Click properties
3. Go to advanced tab.
4. Under Perfomance click Settings Under Visual Effect Use Adjust for Best Appearance and Apply. it might be let windows chose what's best...sorry I can't remember.

-there are other options you can tinker with as well, but that should fix it.

Right-click your desktop and choose "Arrange Icons by" in the menu that appears. In the submenu, untick "Lock Web Items on Desktop".

Instead of resetting them, the option for the drop shadow on icons is called "use drop shadows for icon labels on the destkop" Its the second to last option.
