Hi all, not really a problem just a weird badge on myshortcut icon.

I installed Macromedia Dreamweaver trial and got this icon >>>

Anyone know why?

Thanks..confused

You are using Vista?

Then that is normal icon for applications that will need permission to pass through UAC as an unverified application ( many Microsoft apps need updating for this too )

When you run to install it or just run it you will likely get a UAC popup for you to allow, CCleaner also does this as it needs permissions to access certain areas of the OS.

I see now what you mean Halo, The program works fine it was just the extra badge on the Icon that made me wonder.

Thanks for the explination, Im sure others will be thinking the same as Vista becomes more widespread.
