KENAT,
Have you reminded yourself of FAQ731-376: Eng-Tips.com Forum Policies recently, or taken a look at http://eng-tips.com/market.cfm?
RE: Turning OFF annoying mouse over parts highlight ?
you find it under Tools --> Options --> View
- disable 'Use Shading on Constructions'
it will then only show the part as highlighted wireframe.
Another option is: Tools -> Options -> Assembly
one of the 'fast locate .. ' options

oops! it's assembly so deactivate 'Use shading on faces and Features'
(the Application Display must not be set to Automatic, otherwise
the option greyed out)
In V100 (ST) one has to disable 'Shading on selection'

You can however change the way things are highlighted by the methods described above.

By the way, you still have to click to select, but elements highlight when the pointer hovers over them now. I believe it started with ACAD 2007.

this is the way SE works at least since V12 ...

Most Parametric modelers add useful features to new releases, but honestly, since relase 2004, what's been added in Acad is sometimes nice, but not essential.
What I can't understand is why they don't add some useful features to the 3d solids tools like hole, instead of having users contruct an intersecting cylinder then make a substract. Oh wait, I guess that would not help Inventor sales, then...

I've used SE since V3 (and seen demo's before that !) and its always been the same for highlighting and selection.
In the early days, when it was owned by Intergraph it was called PickQuick, but when UGS took over they changed the name round to QuickPick. I think it was because Intergraph retained the original function name as it was used in their Imagineer 2D drawing package - does anyone remember that one!!
It was basically Draft from Solid Edge.

Select the part(s) or assemblies you want to make non-selectable then RMB and 'Occurrence Properties'
There should be a column headed 'Selectable'.
Set this to NO for each part and then OK.
Now they will not highlight when you mose over them, but they will highlight from assembly pathfinder.
