Question out of curiosity. I do not have a problem, but curious to know why in my part files, where I save these, some icons for part files are ghosted, some are not ghosted. I have a file attached that shows a pic of my file explorer. I'm just curious as to why some are ghosted and some are not if anyone knows.

Thanks,

Brent

I'm guessing those are temporary files. Those will be removed when the "Working" file is saved and closed.

File icons get ghosted like this after you cut them, but before you paste them. Perhaps you are (maybe inadvertently) in the middle of a cut & paste operation; try pressing [kbd]Esc[/kbd] to cancel the operation.

These are part files such as bolts that we keep in a public folder to grab quickly when we need hardware. They stay ghosted. I was just always curious if there was a setting within the file that caused this. Anyway, just curious. Thanks for your time with it.
