This is probably what bothers me most about Windows 7. Unlike Windows XP, the text on desktop icon looks "ugly" (on bright backgrounds).
Is there a way of having the desktop icon text look exactly like Windows XP?
Have you tried tuning ClearType?
ClearType Text Tuner
Start->Control Panel->Appearance and Personalization->Display->Adjust ClearType text (left hand panel of links)

Yes I have. It doesn't change anything. I have even tried disabling it.
If you are a fan of OSXs font smoothing (it is really really good) then try this
Make Windows fonts look as smooth as Mac OS X fonts | digital parsimony
App is in Japanesse...I can help you get it setup
I tried the font rendering, it didn't suit me too well. The fonts look a little blurry for me. It's not as good as Mac.
