A colleague is on computer at work with a limited account
****that does not allow me to access the control panel, or properties tab of 'my
computer'********
, nor does it allow me to regedit the explorer policies to change this. He recently
installed "something" that disabled the "drop shadows" on his desktop and he wants
them back ... Sigh. Is this stored in the registry? Where? Is there another way to
manually re-enable drop shadows? Ta.

If allowed to download a small program, google for Iconoid which can do this plus
fix the desktop icons in place.

Hm. Good, but not quite what I wanted. This is similar to the TransparentW/B prog
that I use under W2K that gives the Desktop text a transparent background. What
I really want is an alternative way to enable the built-in Windows XP "drop shadows".
Thanks anyway.
