Probably for Win98 ones as well and
Maybe for Win2000?

Hi,

Please don't ask me how or why or what but this has an effect:

On your desktop right-click in a vacant spot - up pops the menu for Display Properties. Press the Effects tab and, if you can stand losing a little glitter, a little high-colour in your icons and goodness knows what-else (I haven't found anything besides the icons and the frame of a dragged item ghosting along behind the real) un-check all the items, you may find the friskiness of which I write. It is there alright. Performance enhancing I'd call the effect. Found it here:

And for the rank newbies a gif.

An Update. With no help from me and with the Effects check-boxes all remaining unchecked my desktop icons have reverted to their usual colour. The "frisky" remains.

Cheers
