In Windows, whenever we select any item, an annoying focus rectangle is shown around it. The rectangle is also shown on buttons, etc in dialog boxes which doesn't look good and many people want to get rid of it.
Thanks to our friend "localhost" who made a small program to remove the annoying focus rectangle which works in every version of Windows.
Just download following ZIP file, extract it and run the setup file:
Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions are supported.
NOTE: Windows Vista and 7 users should follow these steps with Admin privileges.

how do you integrate this into an XP Setup CD?

This fix works perfectly for Win 7 too. I've tested it for weeks now, and haven't seen it since. It would usually show up after a few minutes to a few hours after starting the computer, restarting fixes it, but it's really annoying to have to keep doing that.
For anyone that hasn't seen it in Win 7: Look at the Recycle Bin
It doesn't replace the normal rounded border thingy, but it goes over it.

Hi guys,
This is a great tool. Btw if needed how can we uninstall it? Just want to know.
Regards,

Thanks. Worked on second try in Win7 since had to be installed in Vista compatibility mode. Also after install and reboot, required another reboot to fix a dual-display issue it caused.
