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.

Chad Harris said: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.

TweakVI has adware... on install my anti-virus generated this error:

The frameworkx app leaves the icons as a dark square when you reboot or
