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.

14. A method for graphically indicating secured items in a program for displaying contents in a selected place, the method comprising:
-
retrieving all files in the selected place; intercepting the files when metadata of the files are being loaded into the program; checking if there is at least one of the secured items included in the files; activating a client module to determine how the at least one of the secured items is secured, when it is checked that the at least one of the secured items is included in the files; and generating a superimposed icon to indicate the at least one of the secured items is secured, different from the rest of the files when displayed in the program. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A computer for graphically indicating secured items in a program for displaying contents in a selected place, the computer comprising:
-
at least a processor; a first memory space for storing a client module; a second memory space, coupled to the processor, for storing code as a graphic operating system, the code, when executed by the processor, causing the graphic operating system to support the program for displaying the contents in the selected place and perform operations of; retrieving all files in the selected place; checking if there is at least one of the secured items included in the files; activating the client module to determine how the at least one of the secured items is secured, when it is checked that the at least one of the secured items is included in the files; and generating a superimposed icon to indicate the at least one of the secured items is secured, different from the rest of the files when displayed in the program. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)

22. A computer readable medium containing program code executable by a computing device for graphically indicating secured items in a program for displaying contents in a selected place, the computer readable medium comprising:
-
program code for determining a security level of each of the secured items, wherein each of the secured items has a default icon associated with if the each of the secured items is otherwise not secured; and program code for superimposing an appropriate icon corresponding to the security level over the default icon without losing original indications of the default icon. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
