Windows 10: Desktop Icon Font Drop Shadows

Win 10 Tech Demo.
I would like to have plain black text on my desktop icons.
I have un-ticked the appropriate box to remove the subject drop shadows, but it did not remove them.
I have checked the appropriate registry setting which is set to "0".

When I boot into Win 10, the icon font at first appears black but then the desktop "re-draws" and the drop shadows appear.

I have "Classic Shell" installed to give me the standard Windows 7 type Start Menu - could this be relevant?

Any help appreciated.

Drop shadow for desktop icon text font keeps coming back

I have unticked the drop shadow options in settings and the relevant registry item is set to 0.

When I reboot I get the desktop icon fonts WITHOUT drop shadow, but after a short while the drop shadows are back again.

How can I permanently disable the drop shadows for the desktop icon font?

TIA

Windows 10 Home Icon and Font Shadows

Looking for solution to eliminate green shadow line at the bottom of desktop and the magenta and green font and icon shadows on my desktop and on font choices in Word 2007.

 

Hi neighbor,
Have you tried altering the visual effects? Go to System in Control panel, Advanced, Performance, Settings, Visual Effects, and try altering your settings in custom mode. (Thank goodness MS sought to keep this CP setting as it's always been, and used the cautionary "if it's not broken, don't fix it".
