    For some reason my laptop highlights everything on the desktop and I can't un-highlight it..even if I click around. Actually, when click around, it gets worst because it highlights more things. I always restart my laptop when this happens...someone help!!! :mad:

    Maybe you have a stuck Ctrl key? That could do it. Everything you click on gets highlighted that way.

    I'm just not sure how to unhighlight things. It seems like clicking around makes it worse because it highlights more things....
