Abstract
Techniques for indicating secured files among other files in a graphic operating system are disclosed. According to one aspect of the techniques, each file has a standard or default icon to be associated with. When one of files in a selected place is detected in a secured format, a visual object is retrieved to be overlaid upon a default icon of the file without obscuring the original meaning or indication of the default icon.
