Changed settings

[Ted Myers]

Hello, I have tried and failed to permantly disable the 'Shadow' under the icons on the desktop using a few methods found by Google. Everytime I start my pc they reappear.

I have found over the years that I need to log off and log on again after clearing the tick from in front of the box saying "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop"...

You might try clicking the radio button further up, in front of "Let Windows choose what's best for my computer" rather than "Custom" (and probably log off and on again!).

I don't know which methods you have tried.
Click the Start button or press the Windows key.
Start typing advanced system settings
Click on 'View advanced system settings' when it appears in the search results.
Click on 'Settings...' in the Performance section.
Clear the check box 'Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop'.
Click OK, then click OK again.

Hello John & Hans, the methods you described were the last one I tried, I found it on Windows Seven Forum Tutorial section.
I normally look there for general fixes as their Windows Ten Forum is very poor.
