Overlay icons are small icons drawn over an existing icon.

Windows uses overlay icons to notify the user that some item has a special function or attribute.

Standard overlay icons are:

  • A small arrow: Shortcut icons have a small arrow in the lower-left corner.
  • A small hand: Indicates a shared folder.
  • A small blue arrow (downward-pointing): Files to be written to CD.
  • A pair of blue swirling arrows: Offline folders.
  • A small black clock: The file has been archived.
