Checkbox on upper left of icons

from Stardock Forums

Brand new user and have two questions:

1) what is the checkbox in the upper left of an icon used for?

2) why do some icons show the shortcut arrow and others don't (which are also shortcuts)?

 

Thanks!

It;s not clear what Stardock software you're using.

Sorry. Thought this was the Fences section so didn't mention it. Anyway, am using Fences.

Thanks.

What version of Fences and what OS are you running. (Win 7, 8.1 or 10)

The checkbox is a Windows thing, not Fences.  Open an explorer window, go to the view tab at top, uncheck "item check boxes"on the right side of the window.

As for the shortcut arrows, WindowsFX can remove those, I don't think Fences does.
