If you upgrade to Win2000, DesktopX will give you alpha-blended icons with shadows. I don't know what it will do on Win98se, but you can still try...

There is a freeware utilitiy that does this on Win98, I used it a long time ago, Sorry I just can't remember the name.

If someone could supply the name of this utility, it would help

Sorry I can't help further.

Maybe a search for "Desktop Utilities" would help you, there are many sites for these

Try here >>> http://www.moochers.com/index.html?w95deskutil.html
and look for "Invisible V1.2"

I used DX with iconX and adjusted the shadow, so now my 98se computer is pure xp(without xp!) I even made my own boot!
