hello,
the reg keys create again after deleting them i deleted some messages and restarting explorer from file and added file to startup to deleting theme each time windows starts but CMD windows appear each time.is there any way to hide it and run file in background?

Hello hhay, and welcome to Seven Forums.

This is normal for the reg values to be recreated for the cache.

Deleting them is only to reset and clear the cache so it can start fresh.

Do you know if there is a way to load the NTUSER.dat file to run this fix when a user is not logged in?

It appears that the IconStreams value is only created at login time and is not available when the user is logged off, but I wanted to verify your thoughts.

Hello, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Not that I'm aware of.

I'm not being able to download the file for some reason.

Thank you so much, Shawn!!! It worked great for my Windows 8.1 PC to clean out those pesky icons! (I should note that if more than one user account has leftover icons, the .bat file should be run from each account as the registry settings are saved independently per user.)
