Solution to remove Blue Color Shadow from the Desktop Icons
Our computer looks fresh and good with our desktop icons. We all must have placed some or other icons on our desktop and thus it has become a common problem that we often see either Blue or a different Color Shadow under the icons placed at our desktop.
So if you are also facing this problem and doesn’t actually know how to fix this problem then here is the solution.
Solution:
1. This problem is only caused when we have selected the option of “Lock Web Items on Desktop”. To turn it off, right click on the desktop and go to “Arrange Icons By” and uncheck the option of “Lock Web Items on Desktop”.
2. This option should have solved your problem but if you just like to change the blue color and not turn it off, then right click on desktop.
3. Click on Properties -> Appearance -> Advanced button. Now select “Desktop” from the Item drop down list and choose the desired color in the “color1” option.
That’s it, the problem is solved. So what did you do, turned the shadows or just changed the color?
So, if you came this far reading the post, you should already be convinced that you need to grab my RSS feed, right?

True it does not look good to the eyes, but if the problem is same then the solution has to be same only.
