Default Icon remains active on desktop after closing program

When a program is executed from the desktop and closed, the icon on the
desktop remains in the active state as it has been clicked on once. If I
click on the desktop, the icon will return to the unselected state. How can
I make the icons return to the unselected state after a program is closed.

Thanks

You can't. Why would they build such a useless feature in.
