I don't know exactly how to describe it but I accedentally got High Contrast mode enabled becasue a friend showed me something and now I notice that my icon's name won't be transparent. What I mean is with the attached image below, the Downloads has the pinkish background as the wallpaper's theme and I just wanna get rid of the background in the text of the desktop icons. How do I do this?

Here's how to make em transparent

Start>Control Panel>System>Advanced Tab>Click Settings under Performance

Put a check next to Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop

That should do it. Horrible description if I do say so myself.

Thanks. It was checked though so I just unchecked it and rechecked it and it worked.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
