Windows 10: Yellow-Colored design on My DM’s Icons?

Hi Folks,I'm just curious about these yellow patches I see in several of my Device Manager Icons.I'm running a Windows 10 Pro 64bit O/S.Are the yellow-colored spots in these Device Manager Icons indicating some problem? They may be just part of the Icon’s design but even after I magnified the images, I can’t tell what the heck they’re supposed to be. Perhaps they’re indicating ‘MS certified or signed drivers', which they are? However, none of my other Icons have these strange yellow designs and I’m sure some of them have MS Signed certs, if not all.Does anyone know?Thanks,Rich

:)

 

Remove yellow/blue sheild icon from shortcuts


After upgrading to Windows 10, some desktop shortcuts have UAC shield icons. Is it possible to remove them?





EDIT: Here's a solution...
Launch the shortcuts via CMD:

1. Right-click the shortcut to Properties
2. Click Change Icon, then click OK when its window pops up (necessary step to avoid losing the icon)
3. Add the following, plus a space, to the beginning of the Target field, leaving the existing path at the end:
   Code:
   
   Code:

   cmd /c start ""

I had previously solved this by editing a system icon file, but that method doesn't seem to be working as of update 1607, plus it was a lot more trouble.

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.
