    this can be removed


    All that needs to be done is

    right click on my computer >

    then click properties >

    then click advanced system settings >

    then under the performance heading click settings

    in this menu you will see adjust for best performance, first you need to click this setting and then click apply and it will deselect all the ticks then you need to re-enable everything by clicking adjust for best appearance and then click apply then when you go back to your desktop those horrible dotted white squares around the icons will be gone ;-)

    Its the screen resolution settings.

    Right click on your desktop and try setting the resolution to its recommended setting.

    Mine worked straight away.

    Good Luck

    Even happens in 8. Refreshing the desktop fixes it for me but it is a bug that needs to be swatted.
