| Re: Drop Shadows for desktop icons not working
In Windows Vista, the desktop icons can change and have a drop shadow behind the icon text by enabling by click on my start and then go to computer option. Right click on computer select properties > system properties window will open > select advance button > visual effect > click on custom icon > enable drop shadow for icon labels on desktop. |
