Disable the translucent selection rectangle

VisualSafe riskReversible

Sets ListviewAlphaSelect = 0 under Explorer\Advanced. Replaces the semi-transparent 'rubber-band' selection box you drag in Explorer/desktop with a plain outline. Another 'best performance' visual effect — removing the per-frame alpha-blend makes rubber-band selection over many icons smoother. Takes effect on the next Explorer refresh. Reversible.
