Sometimes Taskbar icons blue, sometimes yellow

WaltR · Nov 17, 2013

It's probably just a trivial thing, but I'm curious. If I open my users\PD folder from the Start Menu, the Taskbar icon is blue; but if I open another folder from that window, Music for example, it's yellow. But if I open the Music folder from the Start Menu the Taskbar icon will be blue. Is that normal for Vista? Thanks.

Where do you find Users\PD and what is PD?

Hey wither. Looking back I could've explained it a little better. When I say "I open my users\PD folder from the Start Menu," I mean my Personal Folder, at least that's what it's called in the Start Menu properties. It's actually just a link to C:\Users\PD. PD is the name I assigned to my account. In the Start Menu it shows up as a link in the right-hand column.

If you right click on the Start button and select the Start Menu tab then Customize, you can choose whether or not to display things as links. I'm guessing (because I didn't try it) that the colors vary depending on what is chosen in this regard.
