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- A small black clock: The file has been archived.
