Tweak UI is one app but I don't think there is one for Vista yet.

How's everything at duh.edu?


Registry Settings
System Key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
Shell Icons]
Value Name: 29
Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
Value Data: Icon Filename

To Change the Icon:
Open the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\Shell Icons] and create a new string value, or modify the existing
value, called '29'. Set it to equal the filename, including path, for the
icon you want to use for the shortcut arrow. By setting this to a blank icon
it has a similar effect to the removal method above, without the side
effects.

Restart Windows for the changes to take effect.

Still on vaca, but tying up loose ends,

Can't get Dr. OMG to track down a good WMP icon that'll play nice.
Seems he's out on sabbatical-
dang tenure

There is a knock off called TweakVI. It runs but whether it is baked enough
to use is something I don't know. I haven't been gutsy enough to do more
than download it and see if it at least runs.

If you do a little searchin' you can download a WMP icon you like. I told
you when I tried to sub from my favicon stash WMP didn't open until I
rebooted. There could have been a lot of reasons. I didn't bother to see if
Event Viewer had anything that would have shed light.

I gave it a workout. It seems to work fine; I have the full version of
Tweak XP. It wants you to use a 1024X 768 low display resolution to work
best for whatever reason.

Hmm
yup,
grabbed icons-lots of them, just to see which I liked, but

they'll work for awhile,then if I install something-even something
completely different(lol), and reboot,
the imported icon goes funky on me and I get that generic weird no icon/icon

Now; for something completely different-lol

Happy New Year(soon)

Jeff
