Blue arrows covering tiles

all of a sudden when I look in my photo files, thumbnails are almost entirely covered by a blue box with 2 arrows forward white.

It is so annoying because now I can't see the thumbnails.  How to remove the arrows?

Thank you

Hi Louisea,.
Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.

1. click Start allprograms, Accessories, System Tools folder and Disk Cleanup

2 check the photos and click OK.
NOTE: Cache view the size of your thumbnail. More browsing, it can make.

3 click delete files button on the confirmation window.

4 disk cleanup will now clear thumbnail cache and close.

This should clear up your tiles and once you access the program again the cache database will be recreated with the right thumb nail (we hope).

Post back with the results please

Thank you

  • A big blue arrow in a box appears on each thumbnail in my images

    When we look through the photo folders in my pictures (Windows 7) a big blue arrow appears and covers half of the tile.  They came when we installed a software associated with a new camera so I uninstalled the new software, but keep it blue.  How can I get rid of them?

  • Cannot print on firefox now blue arrow blinks and report in aspx?

    Until a few weeks before I could open a report in ADP and preview before printing but also print but now when I select print that flashes a blue arrow and no preview appears. When I click on the blue arrow (which is black, not not flashing) and a list of reports pop up. Then I have to go to the download file on hard drive to open the report. Until this week the download was in pdf format, now he's in the aspx I can't open or print. I want to back when I select the report it will preview it immediately and I can then print it.
    It works the way I wanted to in Internet Explorer and used for in Firefox. I like the other aspects of Firefox, but not how it prints NOW.
    Someone can help me. Tired to follow the instruction of "Fix printing problems" but could not find all the items of the stage as the "firefox" tried the menu button button but the next step isn't there. 'Reset the printer firefox' did not help and could not figure out how to open the prefs.js I wordpad in the 'reset all settings firefox printer. I am running windows 7.

    To develop this last suggestion:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > Applications Panel

    Once the loading list, in the search box at the top of the list, type pdf , take a break while the list is filtered. Then check the drop down menu on the right side and if it is set to save the file, try to set it to one of the following:

    • Preview in Firefox
    • Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)

    A folder that should have been available went from a red dot with the white horizontal bar to a white dot with a blue arrow pointing downwards.  None should have been on this user/username/Documents folder

    You can post a screenshot of what you see? I don't remember having seen a folder with a "red dot with the white horizontal bar.

  • Icons have blue arrow 'flags' that shouldn't be there.

    Recently infected by Trojan Tidserv Request 2.  I've since removed the Trojan horse, but my icons for individual files have blue arrow 'flags' on those who were not there before.  None of my icons of programs or files have changed, only the icons for the individual files.

    These blue arrows are nothing to worry about. I assume you have installed Norton360. The blue arrows are indicators just to tell you what has been saved and what was not. To get rid of the arrows, open Norton and go to settings. Then click Backup. There is an option that says "backup status Overlay". If you clear this option then the arrows will no longer appear. It won't make your computer more vulnerable or anything, just, it gets rid of arrows.

  • Big blue arrow on the folders that I have recently download etc.

    2-3 days I noticed that when I download a file, it then began to show a giant blue arrow on the folder to which you can not see the content in the folder. Since then, I have not downloaded any program or anything like that. The only thing I see no update is updated from windows itself.

    Here is a picture to show mainly what I'm talking about.

    The "downloads" folder is supposed to show, it's just a work of art.  Your documents folder has an image of a page of paper on it, your music folder has another icon of the work on what looks like a musical note.  The downloads folder has always had this blue art on this subject, maybe you have never seen it, or maybe you normally save your files to another folder.

    If you wish, you can right-click on the icon, choose Properties, then use the tab customize to choose your own art of the icon.

  • Programs will open and flash a blue box covering the buttons in the program.

    In some programs like MSN and WinSCP, the program opens and then quickly it sparkles and a blue box either borders or covers the buttons like OK and cause boxes I'm supposed to type in frozen become leaving the useless program. I can reduce the program for a few seconds, come back, and it seems to work, before he went on the same blue box error. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 and can't seem to find fixes for it, so help would be appreciated :)

    I suggest you to set up your computer in a clean boot state.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual. See step 7 in the article.

     

    Also, try the SFC scan on the computer.

    SFC/scannow is a very useful command that you can use in any version of Windows. When the SFC (System File Checker) command is used with the/scannow switch, the tool analyzes all the important files of Windows on your computer and replace if necessary.

    Missing and the corruption of the operating system (like many DLLs) files are probably the main cause of the major problems of Windows. In view of this, plus the fact that the SFC/scannow is completely automatic and very easy to use, the tool should be usually one of your top not troubleshooting.
