Windows 7 Start Menu highlighting concern

[sideflag]

When I install a new program, that new program gets highlighted in the start menu. When I re-open, then close the program it stays highlighted. When I reboot the machine, it stays highlighted.

Does anyone else experience this? Because I thought opening and closing the program would be the resolution. It eventually goes away, but I thought it was supposed to end right after opening and closing it again.

This was a concern because I thought relaunching the program was the fix. Does anyone else get this issue?

I had seen this on my W7 often. the highlight will be gone sometime later. no worry.

Right-click on the Start button. "Properties", "Start Menu", "Customize", Uncheck "Highlight newly installed programs".
