Heh, I used to know this.

Two Windows XP desktop customization questions:

First: How do you change the color of the text on the desktop (below the icons, that is)
Second: How do you remove the little arrow from shortcut icons?

....and, oddly enough, this only allows for editing of selected icon color, weird.

And I'm not much a fan of that shadow on the text.

PLUS it doesn't show anything for removing the shortcut icon signifier.

Okay then. How about step by step instructions? Because right now I'm feeling really dumb.

1.) Display properties -> Desktop -> that little colored rectangle in the lower corner

2.) download TweakUI from microsoft.com.

3.) Shadows... Display properties -> Appearance -> GO TO ADVANCED DUDE

TWEAK UI. THAT WAS WHAT I WAS MISSING.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. :D
