Chaning highlighting color in Windows

6
I surf the internet in both Internet Explorer 7 and FireFox and have a question.
How can I change the color when I highlight test to copy and paste?
It does blue on default but some website back grounds are in dark colors and it is hard to see what I am highlighting to copy.
I have Microsoft Windows XP Professional.
Any help here?
Thank you.

Very easy

1. Go to your desctop and right click on it

2. Go to properties

3. Go to appearance

4. Go to advanced

5. Under Item: choose Selected Items

6. Change Blue to whatever color you want and you are all done just hit APPLY

Best luck, Cyber
