Acronis 2012 displays weird icons in windows explorer

Thread needs solution

Viewing a backup via Windows explorer displays weird icons for the folders. Example is a star for the main C: drive then for the Users folder displays a user icon with two people in the icon. (All folders are this way!) Very confusing...

This happens on two different systems.

Both Windows 7 x64

I get a star next to a list of all my backups in ATIH 2012. When I click on the star it turns the color of gold.
What is the purpose of this star? What does it do? What function does it have? Why click on the star to turn it gold colored?
Very confusiing.

Can anyone help.

Hi Stuart, this forum is full of real and heavy issues related to ATIH2012. Your question however simply shows that u didn't read the user manual at all.
Anyway: the star is simply to make certain backups to "favorites". This is really very useful if you have lots of backups, even very old ones, that u normally won't get displayed regularly. The list of backups can be displayed completely or only the "starred" ones. Have a look at the top of the GUI, where u will find an appropriate button to switch to the starred favorites only.
