drop shadows registry hack?

[gotnho]

for some reasons when i did my unattened cd everything worked great but then text of an icon have like a solid background and not transparent. I did have a few registries hack in my unattened cd but none of them could have effect the the drop shadows setting. So i just wanted to know if any know the registry hack to make window xp use drop shadows for icon labels on desktop? thanks.

I believe it's this one:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"ListviewShadow"=dword:00000001

That's normal for many settings. Some work immediately, some don't.
