Citrix Desktop Icons strange Behaviour with the text label

We had desktop icons on our XenApp 6.5 Published desktop appearing very strange.

The icons would sometimes have white text below them and other times had white text with a black outline. This view was very inconsistent so part of the icon name would be in white and they other half had the outline.

The problem was due to the "Use Drop Shadows for Icon labels on desktop" option being enabled.

This option is seen from the GUI in
Right click Computer , Properties
Advanced System Settings
Performance Settings

This option can be set in the registry with the following Key
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
Listviewshadow   REG_DWORD = 0
