Desktop Icon Text Suddenly Highlighted

Sep 7, 2008

I am not sure what I did but the text on my desktop icons is suddenly highlighted and despite trying several things I can't make it go away! All I have managed to do is change the color a few times. I googled this problem and tried the several 'solutions' that I found but none of them worked. Can anyone help me solve this annoying problem?
