Can you take and post a screenshot showing this dotted border? I just want to confirm which it is, because the "border" is one of 2 things:
- It is the keyboard indicator, and shows on which icon any keyboard operations will be executed, such as pressing the <ENTER> or <CONTEXT_MENU> keys.
- You have set your desktop to disply Large Icons, and the program file for an icon that shows the border does not have an icon larger than 32x32 pixels, and Windows is just highlighting this so that you don't get confused as to why there is such a large "empty space" on the sides of the icon compared to others.
Check these out. I don't think there is a way to disable that.
