You also have to make sure to enable the drop-shadow option in the Performance Settings dialog. – Synetech Jul 25 '12 at 15:44

There are 2-3 methods to accomplish the task but the once which actually worked for me is

Desktop>> Right click> Properties> Desktop> Customize Desktop> Web> then you will see couple of web pages just uncheck both… and press OK… Its done.

Under normal circumstances, you can't change the blue background on Windows XP because it's hard coded into the operating system, I said "Under normal circumstances" because I did see and tried out a utility a few years ago that would allow you to change it, however, it would only stay the color you change it to while the utility was running. I don't remember what the name of the utility was or if it's still available. I seem to remember that it might have been making Windows XP unstable so I un-installed it.
