Solved check marks in Windows Photo Gallery

I am new here, so hello to everyone!
I am hoping someone can help me with an issue in Windows Photo Gallery. I have already searched the net, including threads here, but I am still stumped.
I am looking at my pictures in Windows Photo Gallery and on every one of them, individual and/or within a folder, there is a bright green box with a white check mark in it on the lower left corner that hinders viewing the thumb nails, even though I have them set to "extra large icon" under the "view" option. The larger the preview picture, the larger the box with checkmark. It takes up a good fifth of the thumbnail, and often I can't even tell what the picture is and have to click and open each pic to see what it is exactly.
One other thing I have noticed is that if I am in ControlPanel>Personalization>Desktop Background, then it is a bright turquoise box with two white arrows within---if that helps to describe my situation. I've noticed that even documents on my desktop also have the turquoise box w/two white arrows.
Can someone please tell mehow to eliminate these boxes with their checkmarks and arrows?
Thank you kindly in advance for any help you are able to give me.
