Get Rid of Icon Name Background
May 2006, Journal of Thousand Oaks PC Club
If you're using Desktop Wallpaper on your Windows computer, you'll still see a border around your icon names the same color as your solid background. You can remove that border so that the text looks like it's written right on your wallpaper. Here's how:    Click on Start and then open Control Panel. Now open the System Icon in Control Panel. Choose the Advanced tab, and click Settings in the Perfonnance section. (If you are using the	Category View in Control Panel, open Performance and Maintenance and then click on Adjust Visual Effects.)    Turn on the "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop" option by placing a check mark in the box next to it and click OK.    That's it. You're done. How do you like the new Desktop look?
