    Unable to disable drop shadows for desktop icons


    I personally don't like the drop shadows for the labels on the desktop icons. I tried disabling it through the "Advanced System Settings" and the Registory Editor, but both the methods aren't working. I still see drop shadows on the labels. How do I disable them?


    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Problem in disabling drop shadows on desktop icons.

    I disabled drop shadows for desktop icon labels from advanced system settings. It works for about 5 seconds and then shadows again start appearing, despite the setting being still set to disable.

    How do I fix it?

    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

    Remove drop shadow on icons on desktop in Windows 10

    No, the shadows appear under every icon label if the corresponding option in the Performance Options / Visual Effects is enabled. Here you can see example screenshots with instructions how to enable or disable the shadows.

    "https://www.isunshare.com/windows-1...dow-of-desktop-icon-labels-in-windows-10.html"

    The bug in Windows 7 and 10 that people are complaining about here (and that you are obviously not aware of) is that these shadows sometimes re-appear even though the option is
    disabled. The only way to prevent this that I found so far is disabling the Snap Assist feature. I have no idea what this feature has to do with the shadows, but it works.

    I recommend to read a thread completely before posting irrelevant replies and blaming people for being unable to use a computer.
