When I highlight a file in Windows Explorer, the highlight is so faint that I
can hardly see it! Is there a way to darken the highlight? Thank you

One thing I noticed that if you play with the monitor settings you might be able to make the distinction better. Try turning the brightness and Contrast both up and down. On some monitors there's more of a distinction if the contrast is down a bit rather than up. You'd have to experiment. You might also try a "Windows Classic" theme - you know, the ones that look like Windows 98. You lose all the Aero effects etc., but this problem is solved.

Thankfully, it looks as if with Windows 7 the disctinction will be much better, so when the time comes to upgrade ..
