boxes around icons desktop

How can I get rid of the boxes around each icon when it's hovered/selected on the desktop? I find that very annoying, I tried to go to 'advanced system settings' / settings / visualeffects, but putting off the 'show translucent selection rectangle' didn't help.
thanks in advance,

Not unless you change to Windows Classic, its a feature of Windows Vista Basic and AERO Themes. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "WinModify" wrote in message

Ok, that's too bad... I hope there will be a function for it in the final release...
Thanks Andre !
