Drive Icons in My computer

    I have just noticed that, in "My computer", icons for drives that are
    shared have a liitle symbol showing two heads next to the actual drive
    icon.

    Has this always been so (meaning I have very unobservant) or is it the
    result of an update?

    Hello Alto,

    Yes, this is normal for any file, folder, or drive that you set to be
    shared. It's just a icon overlay to indicate to you that it is shared.

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn

    Yes, it's standard and not new.

    Thanks to Shawn and Ken for replies.

    Seems like it has always been that way - I can't believe I didn't see
    it before!!

    Cheers ........................

    You're welcome Alto. No worries, it's always the little things that we
    do not notice.
