so… the tech support was all over my dad’s laptop setting up an internet connection and it seems to me that they were doing everything else except the internet connection 
(I would’ve done it myself but the location was >100km away)
I’ve got most of the touchpad and win theme settings back to normal but the one thing I can’t figure out is the backgroun color of the text of the shortucts on the desktop…
They used to be transparent but now they’re colored and my dad wants them transparent
I know I can change the color from display properties -> appearance -> advanced -> item(“desktop”); … but how in the world can I make it transparent?
edit: win XP
