None of these methods worked for me. Have drop shadows enabled. Have settings set for appearance.
I only have one link under the Wab tab of Desktop Items and it isn’t deletable (the delete button is greyed out). It was added by the OS, not me. It remains unselected.
Also have Lock desktop items checked.
Been reading every post online since 2006 and there isn’t one solution that works. Hard to believe that XP can’t get the most basic of basics right. Just want to change the font and background colour of icon text on the desktop!
