As in, the white portion of the background? You can't, without a third party program.

If you have anything but the basic version this should be turned on by default. That makes me think you have the basic version. In which case you can't. If you don't have that version though then simply right-click on the desktop, then goto personalize, then window colour and appearance and there is an enable transparency check-box there.

Its only enabled by default if you have proper drivers, coupled with a video card with at least 64mb of vRAM.

Make sure you have the proper drivers, ensure that you have Home Premium or higher, and then enable it. If you are unable to enable it from the personalize menu, then you arent meeting the proper parameters.

Oh, it also requires the recommended amount of RAM. I believe it wont run regardless of your spec if you have under 1024mb of RAM. It might be higher than that.
