Disable desktop icon label shadows

VisualSafe riskReversible

Sets ListviewShadow = 0 under Explorer\Advanced. Turns off the drop-shadow rendered behind desktop icon text. One of the standard 'Adjust for best performance' visual effects — pure GPU compositing overhead with no functional value. Takes effect on the next Explorer refresh. Reversible.
