Desktop icons

[SuRichardson]

Is there any way I can change the colour of the names of the desktop icons so that they are more visible against a white desktop?

This can sometimes help.

Go to Control Panel, then Performance and Maintenance, then System, then Advanced tab, then press Performance Settings button.

Turn OFF the option which says:

Use drop shadows for icon labels on desktop.

Thanks a million vehelpfulguy - you are truly well named - that has done the job admirably.

To actually change the colors, right click on the desktop to get display properties, then select appearance and then advanced, then on the ''item:'' list scroll down to find ''selected items'' and you will also get a choice to change the font size and colour.

Almost forgot, you can also scroll down to ''icon'' and select the font to be bold.

Thanks to you as well qapmoc. They are even better now.
