This is gonna sound real dumb but...

Some how the fonts on my desktop icons now have a coloured background and I can't seem to turn it off. All it gives me is the option to change the colour in the Desktop Properties?

Pls can you advise?

Option number 1:

In XP, you can only change the Icon font color from black to white or white to black by going to Start > Control Panel > System > Advanced tab > click on settings under Performance > under Visual Effects tab click Custom, then scroll to the bottom either check/uncheck "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop".

Option number 2:

Another way to change the font color is to use a 3rd party application - Iconoid - Download

If you want to have your computer checked for why the the fonts changed color, recommend you click on the Pre-work link in my signature and follow the directions. Attach/paste the results into this thread with your next reply. If you didn't create the change yourself, this process might find the cause.

Thanks

Do you require addition assistance with this issue?
