What are "Newly Added Programs"?

All I can seem to find is how to enable/disable the highlighting of "Newly added programs". How exactly does Windows determine that a program is "newly added". I like the feature, but I need to know why some things are highlighted and some are not. I manage a Terminal Server environment and have redirected to a custom Start Menu and now lots of stuff shows as newly added when it in fact is not. How can I set/reset a program as newly added I would like to 'clear' that flag on everything so it starts fresh and only shows new programs as I install them. I checked dates on the shortcuts, etc., but it is still not consistent (IE shows as "new", Excel shows as "old")
