Desktop icons overlaid with security sign...
Most of my desktop icons, word files, IE7/Mail have this security icon on
their right lower corner. I associated that with TrendMicro AV (vista beta version) but uninstall of that software, manual registry cleaning also did not solve it. Does anyone know what is going on? http://img372.imageshack.us/img372/3015/iconszd9.png Sorry about the externally linked image. But there is no easy way to explain this. |

The little "shield" is indicative of that particular program's need for
administrative privileges to run properly and has nothing to do with your previously installed AV solution. "IQ70" wrote in message ...

Internet Explorer, Windows Mail, Welcome Center, Notepad too have that icon
on the start menu. I am sure Notepad won't need Admin rights. I am running under an Administrator account. How can I change this behavior? "Mark D.

I have similar issues with an application I installed. It seemed to randomly
select which of my .EXE to put a shield on or not. How do I turn off the shield? Is there something I can set on install to prevent this from happening? Under properties, require admim rights is not checked. -- Matt Froncek www.qodbc.com "IQ70" wrote: Internet Explorer, Windows Mail, Welcome Center, Notepad too have that icon on the start menu.
