Changing desktop icon text colour
 
How'd I change the colour of text for the icons on my desktop? Been routing through my Display options but cant find it!

Be a shame to lose my lovely backdrop of Katie Holmes :E

You have to download this:

Change Desktop Icon Text Color or Make the Text Transparent

Read the little bit of text, it tells you how to download.

You can't, apparently, in default Windows XP.

You can work around it:

and

1. Right Click on My Computer > Properties or Go to Start Menu > Settings > Control Panel > System

2. Click on Advanced Tab > Performance Settings

3. Select Custom

4. Check 'Use drop shadows for icon labels on desktop'
