Everything on my desktop is highlighted blue. How do I make all the icons normal again?

Hello, I don't know if it's going to be exactly the same on your PC but I had that EXACT same issue when I tried to speed up my laptop. I was turning the visual effects on and off trying to determine the best look with the least performance loss. I turned off what Windows XP calls ';drop shadows for desktop labels'; and my desktop labels did exactly what you describe.





In Windows XP at least, which is what I have in front of me so if you have Vista you'll have to Google the same fix for it, you can right click on My Computer and click on Advanced. You'll see a Performance button and from there you can either let the computer choose the visual effects to speed up performance, best appearance, or set custom settings. You sould check and see if you have turned off the shadows.





If that isn't it then maybe you have lowered your overall video settings. If the above doesn't work then right click on an empty part of your desktop and click Properties and then Settings, then make sure your Resolution and Color Quality isn't cranked down.
