Desktop Icons have Underlined Test

[Guest]

I have a Dell computer running Win XP with SP2. When looking at the desktop,
all of the icons have text that is underlined. How do I eliminate the
underlining? If I go to Properties/Appearance/Advanced/Item, depending upon
the item selected, I can change font, color, bold & italic, but I do not see
an option for underline. Again, where did the underline come from and how
can I eliminate it? I have not seen this on other XP machines. TX
