Guest Steve Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Re: Desktop shortcuts Hi There, Got a minor problem. On My Desktop Short Cuts the Icon and the name are displayed as normal. However when my girlfriend logs on to her account on the same computer the Short Cuts are in Bold. How can this be changed into same display as mine. I have changed Appearances etc on Display Properties and there appears no difference?
Guest Kelly Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Re: Desktop shortcuts Re: Desktop shortcuts Hi Steve, Check the settings here: Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options - Click items as follows. And/or: Transparent Icons: Start/Control Panel/System/Advanced/Performance/Settings/ Visual Effects/"Use drop shadows for icon labels on the Desktop" Also: Right click the desktop and select Arrange Icons by. Towards the bottom of that list, uncheck "Lock web items on the desktop." Desktop Text Color: By default in XP, it can't be manually changed. The text changes on its own from dark to light depending on the color of the background. It is based on the Desktop color not the Wallpaper. The combo is whether or not you are using a Wallpaper and what the Desktop color is. However...if you have Use drop shadows checked for the icon labels, the text will always be white no matter what color the background is. -- All the Best, Kelly (MS-MVP/DTS&XP) Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm "Steve" <Steve@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:02DE5DE3-C99F-479D-BB4D-000BC9A42ACE@microsoft.com... > Hi There, > > Got a minor problem.
