Jolli Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) Hi out thereIs there a reg tweak in Windows 7, where i can choose the little arrow from the shortcut icon instead of huge one? Tweak in Windows XP:;little shortcut icon[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons]"29" = "C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\TweakUI.exe,2"Jolli Edited May 23, 2009 by Jolli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I dont see why they would change it so just place one of these somewhere and edit your reg file to point to it.XP shortcut icon - smaller than 7's xp.icovery small arrow from tweak smallarrow.ico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolli Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 Wrong string, these reg strings does´nt exist in Windows7! So what´s now?Your icon are from the old WinXP, only black!The new one are blue, more designed - but to big!Any Ideas to change the icons in Win7, so please tell us.Jolli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) Calm down. They don't exist in XP either until you add them. It works fine...Before: After: Here's the XP one in blue. xp.icoBtw, you need to restart explorer for the changes to take effect.

Jolli Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) I think the best is when You don't even have arrows on shortcuts..By no Arrow, you can´t make the difference between system and shortcuts icon!One´s again, i like the shortcuts icon, but not to big!So, after long search, i make from the original shell32.dll (icon #16769) in Windows7 my own little icon.My favorite one with shades, the other one without.Little_Arrows.zipLittle_Arrows.zip on Uploaded.toJolli Edited June 20, 2009 by Jolli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybpsych Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Hey m8!Why You like small arrows better than the large ones?!I think the best is when You don't even have arrows on shortcuts..What do You think?!without a shortcut, you can't differentiate between two icons with the same name ... users may accidentally delete the actual file instead of the shortcut or vice versa.
