Blue arrows on some files/shortcuts

[slipd]

Hi guys,

Just updated an old 32 bit Windows 10 machine and several of my desktop shortcuts: Avira, Teamviewer etc. have these litle blue arrow on them, top right corner... see below.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply! Digging a bit deeper, it appears more widespread than first thought. Literally all my folders, Windows, Users etc. are displaying it.

I didn't intentionally set this, if there a global override or anything?

This is because "Compress contents...." is enabled, within Properties/Advanced. It used to be a default setting on Windows 7, I've noticed it seems to be off on the Windows 10 machines I have checked.

This. I've uncompressed and they've gone!

Weird, but I don't remember ever compressing in the first place?!
