re: Question about 'Use True-Color Icons' Sunday, February 8, 2004 at 4:17 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Keith (3 messages posted) Frank, Thank you so much for this post! The low resoluton icons in Windows 2000 were really getting me down, and I would never have thought that NetMeeting was the culprit. I have summarised the steps I took in case it helps others: Open Netmeeting From Tools pulldown, select Remote Desktop Sharing. Go thru the wizard and end by clicking on 'Finish'. This will enable remote desktop sharing. Then select Remote desktop sharing again and de-select "Enable Remote Desktop Sharing on this computer" Re-boot. Icons will still show in low resolution Go to Display Properties, Effects tab, disable "display icons in all possible colors", click Apply, enable "display icons in all possible colors", click "Apply" again and your icons should be restored!
