That's just to let you know that the image was cropped. If you make any adjustments on the image you'll see a different icon up there. Again, it doesn't DO anything but let you know that the image has been cropped or adjusted.

BTW, Bridge is a great image VIEWER but not all that good for image management unless you are very diligent in how you manage and organize your images. Simply, Bridge is NOT a DAM (Digital Asset Management).

If you are interested in such things, I'd suggest you check out Lightroom Desktop which is a DAM, and viewer.

I use both back and forth depending on whether the image I'm looking at is for short term use (preparring images for sale on Craigslist as a quick example) or long term storage (such as images from a holiday or a family event). For the former, it's Bridge, for the latter it's LRC. You may want to check it out.
