| 1435114 | 2017-05-10 05:45:00 | There was a big cumulative update to W10 this morning, and now I see that many (not all) of my desktop icons are showing a little tick in a green box. I think the ticks are only on icons that not shortcuts, but I'm not entirely sure. The only references I've found on the interweb all are dated years ago and also seem to mostly refer to the "use checkboxes" option in Explorer - not relevant. Also found a pointer to a registry entry which didn't lead me anywhere. Any ideas? |

| 1435116 | 2017-05-10 06:23:00 | Now there's weird. I've just come back to the PC and the check boxes are all gone. I'd seen the link you posted. I do have OneDrive enabled but it is not syncing any of the stuff that was ticked. I'd also seen a post that pointed to these registry entries: 8031 but that didn't lead anywhere either. |

The Reg entry is the same here. 8032 Mine has an additional at the beginning,that's my download manager. |

| 1435120 | 2017-05-11 06:37:00 | The only green ticks I have are on the files synced with Onedrive. | Driftwood (5551) | ||
| 1435121 | 2017-05-11 06:44:00 | The only green ticks I have are on the files synced with Onedrive. I don't think its that as AFAIK the files in question aren't being synced. |
