For some unknown reason my icons on the desktop have the names underneath highlighted...it is unsightly and I want to remove.

Open Control Panel/System/Advanced Tab. In the Performance section, click
the Settings Button. Scroll to the bottom of that list and select the "Use
drop shadows for icons on the desktop" option.
