is there a way to remove the square thing on this?

Does it stay like that after restarting the computer or logging out and in?
If so, you might see if changing the icon of that shortcut to a different or same icon a couple of time may sort it.
Shortcut - Change Icon
This is an artifact of being able to operate the desktop by keyboard. It happens for me every so often. To get rid of it, I hit Ctrl-Esc to bring up the start menu, cursor down (no mouse!) to some program or other, hit Enter to launch it. Usually, after I close that program, the rectangle goes away - what you've done is taken keyboard focus away from that desktop item. Then, a few days later it pops up again - I can't figure out what triggers it.
It is a long-standing bug, and nobody seems to want to do anything about it. It happens in Windows post-7 as well.
If what sgage posted doesn't help, then see if changing the size of the desktop icons to another size and back may toggle it to stop.
If not, then let's see if rebuilding the icon cache may.
Hi,
Is it as risky as surfing the internet without a antivirus program :/
You should stick with your ultimate problem Rose and clean your system first then put humpy dumpty back together again afterwards,
