At first I thought I had not entered my license info but I checked and its all there and labeled 'Valid'.
What the heck is the pair of arrows on the desktop icon indicating?
Thank you

Hi,

these are probably being added by some sort of backup or sync software that you have installed (dropbox, one drive, google drive, etc) - it may have decided it's going to backup or sync the shortcut. Sometimes you can get weird overlays on icons for no good reason too - just one of those windows things...

There are some common overlay icons listed here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_s ... dentifiers - maybe you will spot the arrows in question!

Anyway, nothing to worry about (nothing to worry about to do with SharpCap anyway :D )

Neil you are correct. Those are the mysterious arrows and they are still there even though have been using SC. They bug me and should not be there.
