syswow64 just opens up the SysWOW64 folder?
Opened sysWOW64 via: systemroot%\syswow64
Ran regedit (64) as admin via right click,
Tried to change the above referenced DWORD,
Got this error: : "Cannot edit SortOrderIndex: Error writing the value's new contents."
Also tried to add full control via permissions: "Unable to save permission changes on...Accessed denied"
administrator and SYSTEM are both read only but TrustedInstaller has full control. I cannot add myself on for full control either.
Why can't I gain permissions for this?

A batch file is a text file with commands, just a diffrent extention...
Rclick your desktop or folder, click "new" then "text file"
Rclick the new text file then "rename", rename it to sumthing like "icon.bat"
rclickthe bat file and click "EDIT", dont double click or open it will exicute the file!
then past your DOS commands and save
place the file in C:\Users\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
make sure you can successfully change the key first..
then export it, rclick the key and click export.. save it as "icon.reg"
then create the bat file, and paste this one first line:
reg import file.reg
then paste this one onf the below on second line (to auto refresh your desktop):
rundll32.exe user32.dll,UpdatePerUserSystemParameters
or
wmic.exe process where name="explorer.exe" call TERMINATE
or
taskkill /F /im explorer.exe (again restarts explorer
I assumed when you edited the regisrty on the first page of this thread it worked untill you rebooted,. After trying it, i had no luck either, so this isnt really going to work... but ill keep trying, there maynot be a way though... This has got me interested.
