He was being sarcastic, Ken. Double-check - do you actually have an entry in
the drop-down saying "Selected Icons"?

I was not or did not mean to be sarcastic. I don't find a 'selected icons'
on my system. I thought he was using
some other version of XP than the one I have.

Hi Justin,
I didn't think this would be so hard to do. I am using XP SP3. I do not
have a choice of 'selected icons' - I have Desktop, icon, icon spacing,
etc. But no selected icons. When I select Icon it is giving me a choice
of size and font, but no color choice. Looks like I will have to either
change my wallpaper or just live with the white font color.
Any other suggestions.
Thanks, Cindy in AR

My interpretation of "Selected Items" was incorrect.
Interpretation???
Lame.
You had the OP and others searching for something that doesn't exist
because you "interpreted" that "items" is the same as "icons".

Limeys have a different meaning for the word 'interpreted'.

Aw, gee, Mike, you've done gone and hurt my feelers.

In the UK, does it mean "can't freaking read"?

If it actually, really, genuinely, "I've-double-checked-it-carefully" does
say "Icons" and not "Items" then someone or something has tweaked your
machine's registry.

In that case, I apologise.

There was no misinterpretation of your *language*, just your meaning. That
was probably because I'm not a Londoner, which you oddly assume.

Hi Cindy,
I set my desktop (Xp Home SP3) a long time ago, but I traced along the steps
that JT gave you, and worked for me.
When you say you changed the wallpaper, did you do it in Control
panel/desktop/appearance /advanced/then from the "item" long list select
'desktop'?
On my pc the 'colour 1' dropbox for desktop, determines the background
colour of the box of the desktop icon, as I have a picture as my wallpaper.
The colour of the icon text, and the icon font type is selected from
"icon"from the long dropdown list as I see it.
My combo is light gray background and black text.
