Strange symbols on Desktop Shortcuts.

[Vexx109]

I'm having a weird issue. i'm not sure where or why but these symbols on my shortcuts are changing to things like a lock, a grey X, a green Check mark, or two people next to each other there are a couple of Pics attached. they seem to only appear intermittently.

I am currently Running Windows 7 ultimate. X64. 8 GB ram, intel i5-2500k

Have you scanned for viruses, malware etc.
If not do so.

All are perfectly normal, a lock has to do with permissions, a gray x has to do with unavailable shares or drives, a green check is telling you files or folders are not backed up yet, from a program you installed possibly norton.

Google is your friend, do a little digging and you will find explanations for each.
