My dog was playing with my keyboard or mouse and now the text under my
icons seems to be reversed. It has the background color box under it
and it is transparent when selected. It was the other way. What option
fixes that.


Open "Control Panel", double-click "System", click on the "Advanced" tab
and in the "Performance" box, click "Settings".Â* Then on the "Visual
Effects" tab, select "Custom", then find and uncheck "Use drop shadows
for icon labels on the desktop".Â* Click "OK", then "OK" again.

I think there is a high contrast setting there too
