Desktop icon text shadow

[Michael Chare]

Is there anyway that the shadow under the text of desktop icons can be
removed?

Open System Properties (Windows Key + Pause Break) > Advanced (tab) > click
Settings under Performance > select the 'Visual Effects' tab and in the list
of items, scroll down and uncheck 'User drop shadows for icon labels on the
desktop'

Andre,

Thanks, that worked fine. Now I would like to be really fussy and have a
white font.

In right click desktop > Window Color and Appearance > ... classic
appearance properties ..> Advanced> Item: Icon
I can change the Icon font size,Bold/Italics

But the color box is greyed out.

Do you happen to know how I should change the color?

But isn't the font labels already white on the desktop? Unfortunately its
just the default bahaviour, you can't change the color at all.

Take a look at this third party solution:
