    That's great news Benjamin. I'm happy to hear that you got it sorted.

    The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is that you may not have unblocked the Blank.ico file before moving it, or didn't use the 32-bit Remove_Shortcut_Arrow.reg file version in the download.

    Hello voiceartistusa, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    It works for me in 64-bit Windows 7 Pro.

    Do you have UAC turned on?

    At what point in the program does it not work?

    Can you upload a copy of the arrow that you are trying to use? I'll test it on my system to see if that may be the issue.

    Downloaded first time from Softpedia.

    Download again from:
    Vista Shortcut Overlay Remover - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com
    ' FXVisor32.msi '

    Installs to (x86) folder

    "...has been installed, click Close to exit"

    Run shortcut, the GUI appears.

    Choose "Light Arrow" Click "Apply"
    Says "your settings have been saved. Would you like to log off now?"
    Choose Yes...and the following pops up:

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click Continue, the application
    will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit, the app will close immediately.
    The system cannot find the file specified.

    [spelling of occurred is wrong]

    Before I choose Continue, I copied the details below, then rebooted and it doesn't work.
    UAC was on, I changed it to Never Notify, logged off, tried it again, logged off...still doesn't work.

    I Did It !!




    I merged the 64-bit_Remove_Shortcut_Arrow.reg file, renamed my arrow to "lighta.ico" opened regedit...


    Changed This:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Shell Icons]
    "29"="C:\\Windows\\Blank.ico,0"

    To This:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Shell Icons]
    "29"="C:\\Windows\\lighta.ico,0"

    Put my lighta.ico in C:\Windows logged off and back on, and it worked.

    The .reg files hosted on this site are HERE
    The post I got that from is HERE

    Thanks for your help! Great Site !!

    Need Help-White Box Where Shortcut Arrows Were?


    I downloaded the zip file and then just hit the 64 bit short cut removal and hit yes and yes.
    Now after reading the instructions I should have hit merge-which I didn't. I then followed instructions to reinstall remove and then restore instructions. The blank never showed up and the white box is still there.
    What can I do to get back?
    Thanks.
