    Shadow font on desktop icons

    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

    Gert
