I have once again had to roll back a Windows Update.

Once again the people who these days run the company have forced the use
of drop shadows on the text under the icons on the desktop. Every time
there is an upgrade these pesky drop shadows come back - even though
Windows has a box which can turn them "off". This has been going on for
6 - 7 years.

Only Windows does not obey the setting to turn them off - so every
upgrade there has to be a manual fix.

Except all the manual fixes which previously worked apparently no longer
work. So the upgrade has been removed. And I was so anxious to use
CoPilot to write presentations and do all my work for me!

Where a "shadow" - usually below and to the right - of the text appears
under it, as if the text was floating just above the desktop and casting
a shadow. Possibly only appears in certain "themes", which if you have
simpler ones selected you've never seen anyway. Looks pretty, but
reduces readability for some people.
