Can you describe "highlighted" in a bit more detail, please?

IN Windows under display (i think its effects button or so metging) there is a thing where u tell windows how much eye candy you want. One of these, when off makes a box around the icons name the colour of the desktop rather than being transpapernt

System Properties>Advanced tab, under performance, click settings. In the Performance Options dialog box, check the second last option (Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop). This will get rid of your "Highlighted Icons"

For some really dumb reason in XP Home the menu is under the system applet in control panel -> click on the advanced tab-> click performance button
