When using photo's as background on desktop the white text is unreadable on light areas of photo. In windows 98 text was in a box and the box background colour could be changed and text automatically changed from white to black if that was best.
I have asked Microsoft and system supplier with no help at all.
I would like to do as I did in Windows 98. Can this be done please and how, step by step please. Many thanks. I prefer not to move the desktop icons around as I get used to my carefully planned desktop.

Go to the control panel, double click the "System" icon, and the "System Properties" will appear.
Click the "Advanced" tab, and in the "Performance" section, click the "Settings" button.
If the "Custom" is not selected, select it, and uncheck "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop." Save your changes!

Not too sure where it's located on the hard drive, but you know what you could try... Using the print screen function on your keyboard, you might be able to hide the taskbar and the icons on your desktop so just the picture shows up. Then, press print screen and this will copy the image on your monitor (which is gonna be your background picture) and then you can paste (ctrl + V) that into an application such as Microsoft Paint. Hope this works.
