![]() I found an article from 2003 by Microsoft’s Raymond Chen that referenced the black clock:Ī black clock. Googling for “windows black clock overlay icon” was a success. It showed a black clock icon in the same position in the file. Microsoft updated many of the icons in Windows 11, so I checked Shell32.dll in Windows 10 to see what the icon used to look like.Windows stores many icons in the Shell32.dll file (%SystemRoot%\system32\SHEL元2.dll).I checked the file attributes, and they were fine. Google searches turned up several questions asking what the icon was, but the best guess was the file attributes were corrupt.This is correct for offline files as the file on the hard drive is a link to the online file. I knew the files with the icon were offline – the file properties showed the file size as 0 byte.Just click the X next to the device you want to unlink.Since upgrading to Windows 11, all of the offline Smart Sync files in Dropbox have an ugly brown icon on the lower left, instead of the light gray X I had in Windows 10.Īfter a couple of people asked about it and had it on their offline OneDrive files, I dug a little deeper.
