Yes. He might have to make sure it's not locked first.

No, he apparently wants transparent icons, and four things are
required for that:
1) Hold down the Windows key and press Pause/Break. On the "Advanced"
tab, under "Performance" click "Settings." On the "Visual Effects"
tab, make sure the box "Use drop shadows for icon labels" is checked.
2) Right-click on the Desktop, and make sure that "Arrange Icons by"
"Lock Web items" is not checked.
3) Right-click on the Desktop, and choose Properties. On the "Desktop"
tab, click "Customize Desktop," then on the "Web" tab, uncheck all
boxes.
4) Make sure any Wallpaper is an image file. Html will stop the
transparency.
