It's in Performance Options, Vistal effects tab. This is the long way
there... why it's not more easily accessible is a mystery.

Control Panel--System and Maintenance--Performance Info tools--Use tools to
improve performance--Advanced tools--Adjust Appearance and performance of
windows. Uncheck the dropshadow for icon labels. But be warned, the type is
only a white color. So if you have a light background it's hard to read.
Amazinf we cant set the desktop font color!!

Not correct. While you can't CHOOSE the font color, the font will
switch to black if the background is a light color.
