you can't change the color of the icon text itself, using just window's
options. Other 3rd party software might allow you to customize that, but windows doesn't. You can, however, turn off the drop shadow option in XP that allows the transparent text background, so that the highlight box will always be there to contrast with the text. Just go to the system properties, and in the advanced/performance section, uncheck "use drop shadows". Then whatever you set the desktop background color to be in the appearance properties, make sure it's relatively dark. Then, all the icons will have the old Win9x-style text box with a colored background. ...
