Hi,
I have tried to change the icons of the Recycle Bin by going into Display Properties/Desktop/Customize Desktop and selecting different icons. The icons do change on the desktop, but when I reboot the original icons display again. Is there any way to permanently change the icons? Thank you.
When a scheduled task is run, winlogon.exe
(running as SYSTEM) is executing:
"CreateKey
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Clsid\"
and this overwrites the info stored there with the info found here:
"HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\"
The workaround is to modify the permissions for
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Clsid"
so as to deny SYSTEM Set Value permissions.
To modify the permissions, browse to the key using Start > Run >
regedit, right-click on the key, choose permissions and change them to
deny System permission to change this key, this should keep your
customized icons on the desktop.
Hope this helps
