I had to, either, refresh or restart to update the overlays. All else remains the same; again, NEWLY CREATED PDF documents are invisible to the Window's 7 search engine. This problem DID NOT exist in Vista or XP. Your Guidance will be most gratefully accepted!

Now... I was having issues with the tone bar and was installing all kinds of drivers and got frustrated with the operation of MediaSmart and the Tone bar. I reinstalled all of the original software (Vista Ultimate) then upgraded to Win7 Ultimate again... this time the registry value was not in there, so I got brave and backed up the registry. The only string that was there is named (Default). If you right-click on an open space of the screen and select 'New' then 'String Value' and name it 'OEMBackground', then you can set that to 1 and it worked the first time out! I feel like a hacker!

]]> Comment on Green Tick or Blue Arrows Icon Overlay Displayed for Files in Windows Explorer by Tracy http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/green-tick-or-blue-arrows-icon-overlay-displayed-for-files-in-windows-explorer/comment-page-1/#comment-9456 Tracy Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:00:45 +0000 http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/?p=700#comment-9456 I got all excited when I found your post however, that does not resolve my issue. Each of these icons/thumnails (green/blue) have different functions on my Windows 7 platform: The green check mark indicates a file that WILL BE LOCATED IN THE WINDOWS 7 SEARCH FUNCTION. If a blue chevron is on the icon, THAT FILL IS INVISIBLE TO THE SEARCH ENGINE! Most notably, all the PDF documents i create on Window's 7 ALL have the blue chevron, hence ALL MY CREATED PDF DOCUMENTS ARE INVISIBLE TO WINDOWS 7 SEARCH!!! No one can seem to tell me why and how to correct it. By the way, those icons don't disappear when I change the setting in Norton 360.
