Ok this should be an easy one but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Somehow a customer hit something on his desktop now the background around the text under the icons on his desktop is green, how do you change it back to just plain text?

Scrool down a little on the above site and I think that is what you were asking for.

Actually it is the desktop icons. The background behind the icon desciption is green simiilar to this http://www.12ghosts.com/ghosts/setcolor.htm . He wants it as it should be on the right but it looks as it is on the left. This is just an example and not his real desktop.

Open System Properties in Control Panel, choose the Advanced tab, and click Settings in the Performance section. Turn on the Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop option, and click Ok.
