The mode "detail view" of the windows XP Explorer was enhanced with a feature
that highlights the selected column with e.g. a pale grey colour in addition
to the sorting-arrow in the top of the column.

I've seen, that the windows-explorer of some XP-Clients does not show this
highlight-effect (there, an installed Outlook does not show this either). So
it has to be a centralized setting.

Is it possible to influence this default behaviour of Windows XP by changing
a registry key? Goal: to switch the highlight effect off or on.
Remark.: The accessible settings via Windows user-interface do not affect
this.

It could be the Contrast/Brightness settings on the monitor are not
optimized.
