Mozy Backup & Word - Remove Check Marks
- 13
- Add a Comment
If you are a user of Mozy Backup and also have Microsoft Word on your system, you may have noticed that some of your saved documents have either a green check mark or red exclamation on the documents icon. I had this problem and could not find a solution. But I finally read a post in a forum which stated the offender is Mozy Backup.
If you use Mozy Backup go into options, and check ‘Disable icon overlays in Windows Explorer.’ After a reboot the markings should disappear.
Comments welcome.

Hello Roland,
Mine appears to be working OK. Have you received a message from Google not accepting your log on info? What error if any are you receiving?

I protect my files and emails with a very easy to use data backup software called Titan Backup, the destination is a 500gb WD harddisk, but the company stated that an online feature is under work also. Give it a free trial here.
I also got my hands on a 30% discount coupon from them, during the order process enter this coupon:NEOB-M5VL

Ron –
I’m just a regular guy trying to use my PC to run my small business. I booted up the Pc this morning, after running Mozy for the past 3 days (!) and those red exclamation points nearly caused me to lose my mind!
Thanks so much for posting your concise answer!

Hello Charlie from Boston,
I’m glad it helped. It drove me nuts before I found the answer as well.
