Hello Gerry, This Green Check Mark comes when you have the desktop folder selected to backup in OneDrive, So whatever folder or file/app you will put on desktop it will get uploaded on your OneDrive account as a backup automatically.

NOTE! These are most often only the SHORTCUTS to *whatever these are pointing to* so ONLY these shortcuts will be backuped.. Not the software itself..
