Shortcut Highlights

When i point to a Desktop Shortcut, a translucent tectangle appears, However,
when I move the pointer, it disappears, if moved to a blank area for to a new
shortcut if I am ponting there.
My probmem is if I use the Shortcut, and open the window, all is fine BUT
when I close the window, the Shortcut is still highlighted. it will say that
way until I click the mouse.
This is annoying as it nver use to do this and I cannot find the setting to
put it back the way it was.
Note: SYSTEM RESTORE will not help, as this occuted after reformatting my
Hard Drive, thus no restore point before this problem.

That is the way my VISTA Home Premium works as well as Ultimate. It has
always worked that way. Also so does my XP Pro except for the translucent
part. In XP it just stays highlighted.

I rechecked the effect and I stand corrected. If I open the file, the
highlighting goes away, however if I left click an open area of the screen,
the highlighting of the icon returns momentarily.
