     Cold comfort if it doesn't translate to the Desktop. Though
it does seem odd that no one anticipated this problem. They
should have blocked PNGs or allowed an image background
color to show through. But don't hold your breath for a fix.
The Explorer GUI seems to always be treated as an afterthought.
Explorer folder settings have been broken since Win98 and MS
still don't fix them. They just screw them up differently with
each Windows version.

   It should be easy enough to replace transparent areas of your
PNG with a solid color, unless you have partial transparency in
some areas.
