New Mystery - dark blue around icon titles

Been using XP Pro SP2 and Office Pro 2000
for a couple years, never had this happen before.

I copied a picture to paste it in a document.
(been awhile, forget exactly if it was Word or whatever)
When I pasted it, a window popped up asking if I
wanted to leave the picture on the clipboard to make
it available to paste into other applications or documents -
basically for further use. I mis-aimed and clicked Yes.

Ever since then, the title of every icon I have on the desktop
is highlighted (right term?) - has a dark blue rectangle around/behind it.

I went into the clipboard toolbar and cleared it,
restarted, but they're still there.

I haven't discovered any problems they're causing,
but they make me nervous.

How to go back to "normal"?
For that matter, why the dark blue -
what does it signify?

Thanks!
