Hi redsoxm, maybe I didn't explain myself well.
Example, If you go to the Google website, reduce it so you can see your desktop, drag the Google icon to your desktop, the icon appears with a white sheet behind it, I want to get rid of the white sheet not change the icon.

ah, i see now. sorry but my knowledge doesn't extend that far.
maybe you could just make or find an icon and replace it. that's my suggestion.
sorry

Being rid of white sheet behind desktop shortcuts
I posted this elsewhere, lots of great help but no solution, 'Ill try here.
Example, If I go to the Goggle website, reduce it so you can see your desktop, drag the Goggle icon to my desktop, the favicon appears with a white sheet behind it, I want to get rid of the white sheet but not change the favicon.
I know in XP there was a hack which would rid you of the large arrow that come with shortcuts, I am wondering if there is a hack for the above?
