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.

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.

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.

I think I found it! I unpacked the latest Win 10 ISO into
a directory on G:. setup.exe has a -tiny- version of the
same green arrow icon as shows up (larger) in the listing
of all the partitions.
