Windows 10: How to change color of text assigned to icons on desktop?

Desktop Icon Color Change - Accessibility Option


Hello tenforums, I hope you can help.

A friend of mine who recently upgraded to Windows 10 is legally blind and is struggling with some accessibility options. Here is what we are struggling with: We need to change the font color of desktop icons to black. Certain contrasts are more visible for some impairments and in this case, a yellow background with black bold icon text is the best condition.

What I've tried:

• Tried high contrast theme / mode
• Tried to modify regedit based on a suggestion for 8.1 here.

Where I've looked:

• Control Panel - System - Advanced System Settings - Advanced - Performance
• Personalize - Change Desktop Icons
• Personalize - Colors
• Control Panel - Personalization
• Display Settings
• Themes - Theme Settings

I was able to get the text black when using the white high contrast mode, but that option won't work. While it does change the icon text to black, it also takes over many other options that deliver a less than desirable contrast for the user. We originally were thinking we could start with the high contrast theme, save as another theme and then systematically roll back the changes we didn't like, leaving the black text. Does not work - when in high contrast mode it effectively locks out your ability to make certain changes.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
