I had one of the Help Desk guys install a program on my machine. I have a Windows 7 Machine, which has the feature that when a new program is installed it is highlit in yellow. In this case, regardless of how many times I click, reboot, etc, the highlight doesn't go away. I find this annoying as I have a compulsive need to whack-a-mole any flags that my computers give me for updates (etc) and this one will. not. go. away.
I believe it is caused by: the installing technician originally did the install using the admin login while I was already logged in (if that makes sense). This didn't take, so he had to log me out, then log himself in and do the install. So perhaps there is some partial install somewhere that isn't getting "tripped" as being used.
Thoughts? Thanks!
To disable this feature entirely:
Start Menu tabCustomize buttonHighlight newly installed programs checkboxOKI don't think that there is a way to do this for just a single program though.
If you'd like a clumsy solution, that only kind of takes care of this, then just recreate the shortcut yourself and remove the folder added by the installer (in the Start Menu). Windows will not highlight manually created shortcuts.
