Dotted desktop icons

Solved

 F5 -
Hello,
I am on Windows 7, and when I use the keyboard keys while I'm on the desktop (the Ctrl key to select multiple icons, for example), dotted lines appear around the last selected icon (and change icon each time I select another one) and only disappear after restarting the PC. Is there a solution to make these damned dotted lines disappear?

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 11.0

You just need to do:
Right-click on the desktop>Refresh

There you go, you're welcome :)

There are many requests for these "dotted icons," but not a lot of responses.

I just found this:

Thank you, Aloes, it works with the software you showed me but in its latest version: universal rectangle remover.

Tired of the dotted lines around desktop icons (Windows XP, 7, or 8)...
1 - Copy the code below and save it under the name in a directory: Close - Open Explorer.bat (for example)

Echo off
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
explorer.exe

2 - Copy the code below and save it under the name in the same directory [!} : Close - Open Explorer.vbs (for example)

Set oWShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
oWShell.Run """Close - Open Explorer.bat""", 0, False
Set oWSHell = Nothing

[silent .bat file]
3 - Create a shortcut to the file: Close - Open Explorer.vbs
4 - Launch this shortcut
5 - No more dotted lines!

Thank you for your response, but the box was already unchecked. I tried checking it, logging out to save, then unchecking it again, but nothing worked. Is there another solution?

Have you tried this?

Control Panel
Folder Options
(click on view by small or large icons instead of view by category, at the top right of the window)
View
Reset all folders

Restart the PC.

I tried it, it doesn't work either. Sorry. I can't be the only one, though; it happens to everyone I know who has Windows 7. Thanks anyway.
