    Yeah, the magnifying glass stands for search. In this case for "Custom Icon", it's to search and select a icon to use.

    The magnifying glass is not what is used for the shortcut arrow though. :)

    Hello Brink please excuse my computer illiteracy but how do I select the icons to remove the arrow?

    I know to choose Custom then it takes me to FX app with save on the bottom of page

    What do I do to select the individual icons to remove the arrow only on those I select?

    You are being so very very helpful

    It's no problem.

    Unfortunately, you cannot remove the shortcut arrow overlay on only specified icons. It's a all or none option.

    Not sure since it has always worked fine for me. I suppose if you may have used the 32-bit version of the program instead of the 64-bit one for your 64-but Windows 7, or something is interfering with the program. Possible an AV program.

    That's great news LoveSunrises. You're most welcome.

    Does the icon continue to work after enabling your AV program?

    In one of the "C:\Users\Public" folders is good.

    In addition, check to make sure that the file is unblocked.

    You could use either the program in OPTION ONE, or manually in OPTION TWO. :)
    The file is unblocked (and has been for over two years), and it is displaying on all of my desktop icons, and in other areas as well. The default icon is only appearing when browsing for a file or image.

    Click

    I give up now. Thank you for all your help :)

    Cyd,

    I'm not sure why it's doing that in only that location. You might see if you may have the same issue that LoveSunrises did with her AV program, and temporarily disable it while using the program in OPTION ONE.
