    Okay so I did exactly like in method one. Copying the blanc.ico to the windows folder and merged the 64-file. This was the result..

    Hello Sara,

    Did you unblock (steps 2B -2C) the blanc.ico file before copying it to the Windows folder? This must be done first, since you will not be able to unblock it from the Windows folder location.

    As I said, I did everything in the tutorial.. Anyway I dunno what happened but after relogging two times without changing anything it worked. :/
    Kinda strange but it really worked.

    Sara,

    Not sure what may have caused the delay, but I'm happy to hear that it worked for you. :)

    Forgive me if I've overlooked this, but, will this fix effect ALL shortcuts, or only ones you choose? I only want to remove the icon from select shortcuts, not all of them.

    Hello Minalee,

    Unfortunately this will remove the shortcut arrow overlay icon from all shortcuts. There's not a way to only remove them from a few of them

    Hello Glassjaw,

    You would just need to type in the full path of where the .ico file that you want to use is saved at in quotes at step 5 instead.

    For example:
    "C:\Users\user-name\Pictures\myiconfile.ico"

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn

    If you don't want to download any programs:

    Open the key [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{63B51F81-C868-11D0-999C-00C04FD655E1}\InProcServer32] and delete the current value of "(Default)". To restore set the value of "(Default)" back to "C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\SHELL32.DLL" where WINDOWS is your Windows directory.
