Rico.JohnnY Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 (edited) i dont know whether this has been mentioned before.use the following method to remove the shortcut arrow other than the normal way(delete isshortcut value) so that the double items issue can be avoided when right click a lnk file.command line way:REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons" /v 29 /d %systemroot%\system32\shell32.dll,50 /fregistry way: see the attachmentthe hex value in the Remove_Shortcut_arrow.reg is equal to %systemroot%\system32\shell32.dll,50this method is based on changing the shortcut overlay image to a transparent one through registrynote: when use under windows, please run flushcode.exe once after apply that to refresh the icon cache. If you have used the normal method to remove the arrow,please restore the isshortcut value first,import the following registry code[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile]@="Shortcut""IsShortcut"=""no need to do that when use it in UA windows xp install.sorry for my poor English,hope you guys can understand what i mean.enjoy!

Rico.JohnnY Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 @boooggythat's impossible.Have you already restored the isshortcut value under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boooggy Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 oops i didnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadikan Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 @Rico.JohnnYThanks. Actually, the "normal" method (delete isshortcut value) is not normal at all. For example, hotkeys assigned to the shortcuts won't work. Launching shortcuts from TotalCommander won't work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico.JohnnY Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 Maybe it should be called the "common way". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawan Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 @boooggythat's impossible.Have you already restored the isshortcut value under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile ?I have restored the isshortcut value and apply the tweak, it now not showing shortcut arrow, but showing double value in right click (shortcut but without arrow).Pawan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico.JohnnY Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 1.Restore isshortcut value under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile2.Apply the tweak.3.If you use the tweak in a installed windows,refresh the icon cache using flushcode.exemake sure you have exactly followed the sequence above. Normally, the double items issue will be fixed once you have resored the "isshortcut". It is recommended that you retrieve an original copy of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile from anther PC.tested in two PCs, proved to work perfectly.

Rico.JohnnY Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 Actually, it's the way how tweakui does,I just make a little modification.For tweakui,it changes the value to xxxxx\tweakui.exe,1So I change the value to shell32.dll,50 to let it become more universal.

Takeshi Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I've used the old method (IsShortcut). What do you mean by double items in R click? I don't see any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
