Icon stays highlighted even after clicking somewhere else

[jonnyD]

When I click on an icon on my desktop, or even an .avi file in another folder, the file name gets highlighted (like I was going to change the name of the icon, for example).  Even when I click on the desktop away from the icon, the icon stays highlighted.  How do I stop this?

Are you clicking away from a clear area of your desktop? Do this happen on all desktop icons or on a specific one? How about double-clicking? Refresh your monitor frequently.
