Yellow reminder-bar in Devices window about Enhanced (hi-res) Icons
I found an old thread about this but can't find a solution so I'm hoping someone will have found out how to do it.
I set W7 to display enhanced icons for the longest time but it only ever showed my old webcam. Then I used the System File Checker and W7 managed to replace this icon with a generic. I tried every-which-way to get the system to pick up the enhanced icons but it didn't - so please let's not go into that :)
As far as I'm concerned W7's whole metadata package thing is well dodgy!
My question...
After spending a good few hrs trying to make this feature work I made my own icons and metadata packages for all my devices. It's a pretty picture now.
However... now that I've done that and told W7 not to bother looking for icons I get a yellow pop-down reminder bar whenever I open the Device Window. There doesn't seem to be any way to disable it and I feel this is really adding insult to injury. I've had to do M$'s job for them and now they want to mess up my window every time it's opened!
Does anyone have a fix for stopping this reminder bar appearing?
Thanks.
[Please don't give me info about how to turn on the feature in the Advanced Hardware box which (should the feature ever decide to start working) will destroy all my hard work and please DON'T tell me about adjusting Windows Update to make the feature work (which it doesn't) OR reg hacks OR anything else to try to convince me to use this built in automatic feature which is simply NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE. I've tried it all and now I've walked away from it determined never to go back!
I've taken photos of all my devices, edited them into transparent GIFS in PS, created muti-layerd icons and used the Metadata Package Creator to add the icons and other info about my devices. They look fabulous and there's no turning back now.]
