I have read all of the similar threads that I could find on the Internet but nothing appears to work.

I also tried changing ListViewShadow directly in the registry, again with no Using Regedit at HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, Windows, CurrentVersion, Explorer, Advanced yet there is still no affect upon the Desktop screen, even when rebooted. I verified that the ListViewShadow is being changed Within the Control Panel I have selected System, Advanced System Settings, Advanced, Performance, Visual Effects where I unchecked the "Use Drop Shadows for icon labels on the desktop".

On the 1st PC, the text displayed under the icons on the Desktop is completely black with no shadows. This question does not pertain to Windows 7 or earlier versions of the Windows Operating System. I have two PC's, both running Windows 8.1
