explanation of Excel icons in windows Explorer

Hello
mode Details in windows Explorer, that some excellent icons are displayed with a yellow or green and some circle have an explanation mark.
Please could someone explain what they mean?
Thank you
Susie

It is my experience that those type of markings are added by a backup program to indicate the status of the backup of the current file.

You use Norton?

  • You can change the icons in Windows Explorer?

    I read some other Q & A on this topic. I never realized that an icon was so important. Anyway, nobody has asked this question specific (it seems), so: you can change the icons in Windows Explorer? I don't use the desktop icons.

    The easiest way is to use 3rd party as IconPackager software.

  • Is it possible to expand the text and icons in Windows Explorer without changing its framework or my screen resolution?

    I started meeting with eyestrain from prolonged use of the computer.  Of course, I must simply reduce screen time, but may not reduce significantly again. During this time, I set it on a few minor visual adjustments that might be more favorable to the eye to me.  A change would be to increase the size of the text and folder icons in my field of Windows Explorer. I tried to achieve this expansion by increasing my overall screen resolution, but that change has become cumbersome and actually greater stress perspective.  Is it possible that I can change the size of text and icon from the Windows Explorer, without giving up its current location (details) and without affecting the size of anything else (for example, my office)?

    I know that my investigation is not in the urgent category, but I would be grateful for all the advice. (Well, almost everything...?)

    Thank you now also.

    No do not trust them - it's a widespread scam underway.  They want to ask you to install support software (usually decent software, like Team Viewer, that legitimate companies use to provide assistance), but then they use it to implant viruses. Or, more often, they open an arbitrary log file, claim this means that you have a virus, and they will help you conveniently 'fix' for a fair cost.

    No one will ever 'cold call' offer to help you with your PC.

  • Vista icons in windows Explorer refreshes every minute or so, how fix?

    Every minute or so icons start refreshing in Explorer. I tried increasing the icon hidden in the registry, the removal of "IconChache.db", all to nothing is (apart from reinstalling my OS). Whenever the icons updated performance decreases significantly. I ran antivirus (Avast free with Microsoft Security Essentials) scans, everything came without any problem. On another note, Explorer sometimes crashes when opening an image.

  • Default folders: How can I change my default settings so that Windows Explorer, downloads, etc., all open to the folder I chose instead of "libraries.

    How can I change my default settings so that Windows Explorer, downloads, etc., all open to the folder I chose instead of "libraries.

    Here is an article on how to change this folder opens when you click on an icon in Windows Explorer:http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-change-windows-explorer-icon-to-open-a-diffierent-folder-in-windows-xp-and-vista.html.  I think this will do the trick. Otherwise, maybe the following can help (but I think that's the answer you're looking for).

    Here's how to change the default template for a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets thefolder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show you how to resetthe Windows Explorer folder view settings, disable Automatic folder Type discovery and increase theview of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget display settings, model of file type, size, or position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.  Keep in mind that it works, just a generic and holistic - it will not work for individual folders by folder.  That cannot be done in Vista.  But you can create shortcuts to the folders that you want and add to the desktop or right-click

    It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with,open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the goodFile menu bar item.

    Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided:http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

    I hope this helps in your situation.

  • [SOLVED] Optical drive empty missing in Windows Explorer, but not in the folder of the computer or Device Manager. Windows 7 x 64 HP Pavilion dv6-3032tx

    The problem: the optical drive [cd/dvd burner] icon is missing in Windows Explorer when no media inserted in the drive. Even if the optical drive icon in Windows Explorer when a disc is inserted in the drive.

    However, the optical drive appears in 'Device Manager' and in 'Computer' folder or no media is inserted in the reader as to the latter.  This doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.  It is a Windows 7 problem [or character?], which seems to be set [or omitted] in Windows 8.

    Here are the step by step process to solve this problem:

    1. open Windows Explorer [click on "Start" and type "Windows Explorer" in the search box, then click on the first result to the Summit, which is "Windows Explorer"]
    2. in Windows Explorer, click on "Organize" (top left of the window).
    3. in the click from the drop-down list 'folder and search options '.
    4. at the bottom of the window that comes up, under the "Navigation" tick to choose 'show all files '.

    I need to do this every time I have to reinstall Windows 7 x 64 Home Premium on my HP Pavilion dv6-3032tx laptop.

  • Windows Explorer thumbnail JPEG image that is superimposed with the icon in the lower left!

    When displaying thumbnails of JPEGs in windows Explorer, the tile is covered by another icon so that the lower left corner of the thumbnail cannot be considered.  The icon is a blue square with double white arrows on the inside. Someone can tell me which program is what actually happen and how can I stop it from appearing on the tile.

    I suppose that you have an installed Norton Security Suite or Norton 360 and that is what causes these icons.  They exist to indicate whether or not a file was supported upward (I think they become green when she was saved, but I'm not quite sure that I will never use Norton products).  From what I read, there is an option somewhere in the menu or the toolbar of the Norton program to disable this "feature" - you can search yourself or ask for help from technical support of Norton http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/dtree.jsp?pvid= .  I understand why it affects shortcut icons, but I do not understand why it is affecting. JPG files but apparently from what I've read it's very common.

    If you grow tired of Norton and the problems it causes (if you did not experience even further than this, I'm sure you'll eventually - I see a lot of them here), you can switch to the free Microsoft Security Essentials http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Microsoft-Security-Essentials-Download-131683.html (Windows Firewall is perfectly adequate and Norton or anyone else really adds nothing of value) or maybe Avast to http://www.avast.com/index.  They are both excellent anti-malware programs even if they are free.

    I hope this helps.

    Is there a way to do this either under windows or excel itself or another program third party?

    It is not possible to import or export the metadata of files & folders from Windows Explorer to Microsoft Excel.

    However, you can use your favorite search engine and look for any third party software that can serve the purpose.
