Desktop Icon titles are all highlighted

[grumpyfccc]

On the desktop icons all the text is highlighted for every icon. Checked desktop properties (right click My Computer, Advanced, Performance Settings, and checked the "use drop shadows for icon labels on desktop). Normally this fixes this, however on this turkey, no dice. Setting won't change. Any suggestions?

Try right-clicking on the desktop and select 'Properties' from the context menu. From within 'Display Properties', select the 'Desktop' tab. Click the 'Customize Desktop...' button at the bottom of the properties window and then select the 'Web' tab from within the 'Desktop Items' properties. See if there is a check mark next to 'Lock desktop items'. If so, uncheck the box and select 'OK'.

There is always System Restore to use and see if that fixes it.

Is the highlighted color matching the settings of this location, Display Properties/ Desktop/ Color.
