Restore highlight to new programs
Posted by Susan on January 16th, 2006


Some time ago I found out how to disable the highlight on the Programs list
when a new program is installed. Now I'd like to restore it, but for the
life of me I can't recall how.

Hello Susan,

Right-click on the start button and select properties. Click on customize and flip to the advanced
tab. Check "Highlight newly installed programs".
