I used Accessabllity Wizard to change my settings to "high contrast" in order to communicate with someone who is partially blind and then tried to reset back to normal with whhite screen. However the icons on my desktop have little squares with the names of the applications and programs printed in them. How do I get rid of these colored squares.?

Hello and Welcome to GeeksToGo!

I think the Solution here might be,
Right click on the desk top. click properties. Go to the "Effects" tab and check the "Show icons using all possible colors" box
Now if the size gets a little wierd then,
You can change the size of your icons in Display Settings / Appearance tab. Depending on your screen resolution. I suggest 29 or smaller. y

Best Wishes! :-)

Hi waynf...

Open Control Panel and double click on the "System" icon. Under the "Advanced" tab, in the "Performance" section, click the "Settings" button. Under the "Visual Effects" tab, make sure all of the boxes in the options list are ticked. "Apply" any changes and reboot.

Any change?
