You can change the desktop icon colour by a/ having transparent labels off and b/ set the background to a dark colour for white text and to a light colour for dark text. It is always white if transparent.

Shadows For Icon Labels On The Desktop
 
ok, here's my problem, my company logo has a silver
background and the icon text displays white, which makes
it hard to see the text. I would like to change it to a
black text....
 
You didn't read my answer. I said background colour not wallpaper. And transparent labels must be off. I gave directions on how to do that (drop shadows). If drop shadows are on then text can only be white with black outline. If off black or white based on background colour. Type in Start Run
control display
then Appearance - Advanced
 
yes, understand that, I was thinking there were another
way..sorry..

Good, You'd have to write a program to do it in home.

Create a theme in display then save it somewhere accessable to all users.
Type gpedit.msc in Start Run
Navigate to User Config - Admin Templates - Control Panel - Display - Desktop Themes

Not sure it works though. A gpupdate /f didn't change anything. You'll have to test logging on/off.
