Old icon animation - searching flashlight

The decade-old searching flashlight animation in Windows is STILL present.

I'll try to find a screenshot of it as I've seen it in Vista.

you have to report where you see it.

I know, I'm working on finding it. Two weeks after I purchased a new laptop with Vista I saw it and wanted to laugh/cry simultaneously. I'll find it again though....

uhmmm where?

@ eried:

How come you persist in bothering me? Haha

Trust me, it's there. When I find it, I find it, but it's there. I guess you'll just have to take my word for it at the moment.
