"annoying" shortcut arrow

[Guest]

Ramesh,

I used at the command prompt:

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Shell
Icons" /v 29 /d "C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll,11"

I won't pretend to understand all the nunancies between this command and the
others suggested.

Best Regards, I enjoy your writing and following many of your posts!

Remember, none of you have refreshed the icon cache. Maybe system icons are
monitored by no. so changing path may require System Image List rebuild.

Just a thought.


Could be the case. Mine is NVidia 7300 LE - driver version 97.46

You are the best dude. It’s so annoying for a power user to see ugly arrows
on his nice icons because of stupid users.

On the Start Menu, in the 'Start Search' box, type: "comm"

'Command Prompt' should appear at the top of the list. Right-click it &
select 'Run as Administrator"

Copy the following text into notepad, it should be one long line, delete any
newlines if necessary.

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Shell
Icons" /v 29 /d "C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll,11"

Copy the text from notepad. Select the Command Prompt window. Click the
system icon in the upper-left corner & select 'Edit' -> 'Paste'

Press the <Enter> key.

You should receive a message stating "The operation completed successfully."

Log off & log back on.

Nothing else to say!

You mean I'm stuck with that stupid little arrow?


No. Just don't delete 'IsShortcut' from the registry. To change the
overlay icon:

In the registry, under:

"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Shell Icons"

create a new value:

Name: 29
Type: Reg_SZ
Data: <path to icon>,<IconIndex>

The problem has been that 'regular' blank icons
(C:\Windows\system32\SHELL32.dll,49) have been displaying as black
squares
rather than transparent after rebooting.

I've been using a built-in blank icon that shows only minor artifacts
(faint
square outline in XL icon mode, and left & top black outline in
detail/list
mode). If you want to try it, use:

C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll,11

for the data in the above regedit.
