i had the same question. my background was white and my icon text was white, so it was hard to read. i wanted to put a black background behind my icons to make the white text stand out from the background. here is how i did it...

1) start
2) settings
3) control panel
4) system
5) advanced --> performance settings
6) uncheck the 'use drop shadows..." box

now, follow the next steps to put a different background color behind your icons...

1) start
2) settings
3) control panel
4) display
5) Appearance
7) Click on Advanced
8) You'll see Item: Desktop and Color 1. Changing the color in "color 1" of the desktop will change the background color of your desktop icons.

that should work for you
