I'm using a PC running XP Home SP1. When a new program is installed,
XP highlights that program in the Start Menu, usually an orange color.
Exactly how long will a new program be highlighted? Just curious because I
installed Norton AV almost 7 days ago and it is still highlighted.
 
I don't know the answer to your question...but if that
highlighting annoys you (as it does me) you can switch it
off by right clicking the Start button -> properties,
Customise (in new window) and then clicking the Advanced
tab in the second popup window. 2nd option is the toggle
for highlighting installed programs.
 
The yellow highlighting over Norton AV, which I installed last Sunday
at 8:35pm, went away at exactly that time today, a week later. So I guess
that answers my question: the highlighting lasts a week.
