Drop Shadows for Icon Labels will NOT stay UNchecked

[D. West]

I use Iconoid on my laptop with no issue. Want to use it on desktop (both XP
sp3). It requires that in order to set text color and background color on
icons that drop shadows be unchecked. Every time I do it, at re-boot it is
checked again, and of course Iconoid cannot display as I wanted. Wallpaper is
..bmp file, no web content on desktop, no locked icons, nothing I can see that
should prevent it from displaying correctly. I've read up on various patches,
hacks, tricks, butnothing has made it work. Each time at re-boot that boxed
is again checked (though not on my laptop's setup). Any ideas on how to make
this simple trick work? TIA.

Try setting it manually...

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"ListviewShadow"=dword:00000000

No, although it unchecks the box, once I reboot it reverts the value in the
key back to "1" and the box is checked again.
