| RE: Stupid highlighted"square"around selected desktop icons! Open the start menu, type SystemPropertiesAdvanced.exe in the search box, then click on it in the results. Under Performance, click on the Settings button. Uncheck "Show translucent selection rectangle" on the Visual Effects tab (Apply>OK).
