Environment

Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management
Novell ZENworks 11 Configuration Management
Novell ZENworks 11 Configuration Management Support Pack 1 - ZCM 11 SP1

Situation

When NAL-supplied Icons are placed on the desktop, they have a red "Z" at the bottom-left corner, to show that it is NAL-supplied. ZCM shows this "Z" on the icon in all locations (Window, System Tray, Quick Launch, Start Menu).





The "Z" should only be present for icons on the desktop

Resolution

This is fixed in version 11.2 - see KB 7010044 "ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://www.novell.com/support

The fix includes a new setting for the ZENworks Explorer Configuration settings, to disable "overlays" - see
