Remove Desktop Icons Underline

[Nick]

Installed XP Pro a few days ago. I'm pretty sure the icons on the
desktop didn't have their names _underlined_. Suddenly, they are
underlined when I logged on today.

Is there a reg hack I can use to remove the underlines? They make the
desktop look very cluttered.

Tried googling, but only got hits on how to underline in Word.

Thanks,
Nick

No reg hack needed.
Control Panel-Folder Options-General tab.
Turn off single click or play with the underline options.

Try googling with a search like this:

Follow these steps:

1. Open Start, Run, type (without quotes) 'control folders' and click OK.
2. Select the General tab and click on 'Double-click to open an item (single-click to select)'.
3. Click OK and see if the underlined has gone.

Open Folder Options in your Control Panel and
under the General tab, place a dot next to
"Underline icon titles only when I point at them"
and click Apply.
