Can't believe the WExplorer icon bug is still there!

that's not the only one. For instance if you open device manager and go into one device properties and hover the mouse icon over the x button,you'll see the light "fleshing". It's there since Vista

I just checked for myself, the bug is not there. And I've done like 8 upgrades since Vista on the same install.

If you watch Vista or an preview Windows (or any other Software), I'm sure there are such bug's too!!
But personaly if a flashing X or one ugly Icon are all the Problems I can live with it.
The problem is only, in this time the dev's do not make fixes, but only new builds if they change something, and that is bad because we must hope for a better leak. From the 22 October when Windows 7 is released to public, that is no more possible for them, to make a new build and ask the users to reinstall there operating system. such bug's are fixed after by "Security Bufixes" with an non mentioned Icon Fix

Yes, you're right. Maybe it's not a bug, just a horrible icon.
