There is a setting in xp or maybe internet explorer that leaves the last
place or link visited highlighted with tiny dots that form a box around the
link. Someone helped me find this years ago. I had to do a reinstall and I
backed up everything but now xp says the file contains no data. So I am
looking for a lot of things. I have xp set in the classic windows mode. I
think it was xp because I remember other screens having the same effect.
It would even leave dots around an icon on the desktop.

Check the following:

Control Panel | Display | Appearance | Effects

and check if the option Hide underlined letters...... is unchecked. If so,
check it. This will suppress the focus rectangle.
 
NewScience that will not work for me. God that will torment me for a long
time. I like my machine to look like Windows 95 I guess. I just do not like
as Wes said a smurf deal. Thanks for your try. When I had to do the
reinstall I new it would be hard to get it back after file and transfer
wizard craped out on me. Thanks
