Why SQL Server 2008R2 is highlighted a different color in start menu?

  • I noticed that the SQL Server 2008R2 is highlighted a different color in start menu,Anybody know is there a reason for this? Can it be de-shaded?Thanks!

  • The operation system is win7

  • You've probably got the 'highlight newly installed programs' option selected. If so, they'll be highlighted until you use them. Win7 (and Vista) feature.
