Hi Stephen,

It looks like you may have changed the icon sizes to either Large Icons or Extra Large Icons and that the icons can actually on display up to a Medium Icons size instead. This can happen with icons that are not made for Vista and it's use of the higher 256 bit icons. Click on View or Views on the toolbar and select Medium Icons instead and the box around the icons should go away.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
