Selected Icon problem

When I now select icons, they get a blue cast and the description under the
Icon is given a dark blue background. How can to get rid of this behavior?
Thanks, CMA

Thanks, Ayush:
Can I simply move the desktop icons to a folder and then when I have done
your steps 1-3, move them back to the desktop?
