Remove shadow from desktop shortcuts

[dtakias]

Does anyone know how to remove the shadow from desktop shortcuts?

 

I remember I was doing it in the past somehow, maybe with tweakui but I cant remember now and Ive been searching the web with no success...

Disable Active Desktop

if i disable active desktop how will i be able to force the same wallpaper to all computers across the domain.

Is there a way to place it in the local profile and use it without having active desktop to be in operation ?

Have you looked at BGInfo from M$ ?

Gives a really professional looking background. Just add the a line in the login script to run your customized BGinfo file.

Right Click My Computer > Properties > Advanced

Under "Performance", click SETTINGS

 

Go to "use drop shadows for icon labels..." and untick.

 

Is that what you want?

No i think he means the box around the icon titles under Active Desktop

It was cause by active desktop yes. I was aware of the setting on the local pc, but I wasnt aware that same thing happens when using crappy active desktop

Bginfo looks really clever. Its again that guy from sysinternals who was employed by microsoft..

 

I hope I can deploy BGinfo with group policy.

you can by using a script that runs at logon, with bginfo and the conf file on a network share.

 

Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

objShell.Run "\\SERVER\Netlogon\BGinfo.exe \\SERVER\Netlogon\Config.bgi /nolicprompt /timer:0", 1, True

Yup, excactly the same as i do...

 

And for laptops that don't log onto the domain just set the script to run at startup
