Nope you wont ....its a Vista thing , part of the Aero theme im assuming Im sure there is some way of turning it off if it annoys you and im sure someone here can tell you how.....but not me

Fred, as you have mentioned the box indicates the selection of the item. This is part of the Theme. The highlighted box shows the area within which you can click. If you do no want it, then change the windows theme.

* Right Click on Desktop
* Click Appreance & Settings.
* From The Drop down select any theme except Aero & Vista Basic.

You will not get the box.
