Everyone now knows that drop shadows is enabled through the advanced tab of System Properties (Windows Key + Pause/Break), under performance, section titled visual effect, AND that items must be unlocked and active desktop enabled (well documented). A recently opened user account will have drop shadows as default. What about the poor souls who do not wish to create a new account to reduce application data related headaches, but texts is still in a solid colored box ? someone mentioned registry keys re: active desktop, i think my problem must be under current user, as new accounts appear unaffected. Tried re-enabling themes, no avail. Use TweakUI and Tweaking Toolbox XP, minimal services. Both tweaking apps. only relate to desktop settings re icon colors and active desktop. Please help !
