The names under my desktop icons ave suddenly gone into reverse video, a blue
bar with white letters.
It used to be just white letters on the desktop background.
Does anyone know a reason, or a way to fix? I tried downloading TweakUI for
XP and running "Repair", but that just relocated all the icons and didn't
change the printing.
Note: Transparant text will only work with bmp images.
Right-click "My Computer", Properties, "Advanced" tab. Under Performance Section, click
"Settings" button, "Visual Effects" tab, check "Use drop shadows for icon labels on desktop"
Click "Apply", "OK"
NOTE: Changing this setting may change your folder view options too.
From any open folder click "Tools", "Folder Options", "General" tab,
"Tasks", and reset your folder options. (Common or Classic)
If this still doesn't do the trick:
Right-click the desktop,select "Arrange Icons By" and make sure
that "Lock Web Items on Desktop" is un-checked.
If this STILL doesn't do the trick:
Right click on desktop, Select "Properties", "Desktop" tab. Click "Customize Desktop..." button,
"Web" tab. Uncheck everything in the Web Pages box except, "My Current Home Page",
Press "OK", then "Apply", and "OK" your way out.
You may need to restart for settings to take effect.
NOTE: Only unchecking "My current homepage" may also work.
