Mysterious(?) Green Arrow in My PC partition list
I have a SSD for a C: drive and a 2TB spinning drive for everything
else. It is divided into two partions, F: and G:. When I open My Computer, I see C, F, and G as I would expect, but the drive icon for G has a big, green downward-point arrow atop the disk pic. I thought it might be related to sharing, but nothing in that partition is shared. ? |

It might be hard to track down, as it doesn't necessarily have to be logged in the Registry, as in this example. https://www.howtogeek.com/291674/how...ns-in-windows/ While a .ico file could be involved, it could just as easily be a resource extracted from a DLL. You could search for files with extension .ico and see if any have a relatively new date stamp. Implying they were added recently. Paul |

In article , lid says... You could search for files with extension .ico and see if any have a relatively new date stamp. Implying they were added recently. A search with Everything found 851 .ico files. No green arrow though and nothing recent. It may well be a resource within a DLL. Oh well. Google has an image search, with the ability to upload an image file, and it will look for similar items. Too bad it's such a bad piece of software. You could take a screenshot of the icon and upload it somewhere, and post a URL. There are also tools for examining shell32.dll and friends, and looking inside. I don't know if there's a tool which will automatically traverse all of C: doing that. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/iconsext.html Paul |
