-=Changeing win98se ShortcutArrows.=- Wednesday, February 25, 2004 at 12:45 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Christine (1 messages posted) Lets start from square 1, as the above instructions have gotten alittle confuseing, due to the number of posts, reposts, failures, & sucesses. What I would like to do is In win98se, Change all the default "ShortcutArrow" icons across my system, to a simmilar but -Green-ShortcutArrow Icon, or 32x32.bmp file, wich I've created elsewhere on my pc. I wish only, to do this with win98se's Regedit program. (as TweakUI and simmilar programs cannot keep up with Microsoft updates and changes.) can some one please walk me through this process carfully, and in detail? for sake of argument, lets presume that the Green ShortcutArrow in question, is on hard-drive as D:/alt/system/icons/Green_SC_Arrow.bmp (32x32 px.) --NOTE---(& Please observe carefuly)----------------- -I'm generously experianced with Regedit. but definatly no expert. -I have Tweak UI and it fails to accomplish the abode task, due to: - my InternetExplorer Verson = 6 - I have written a text file, that i renamed "WorkDarnYou!.reg" and executed this file in the standard doubble left clicking fashon. and contained in the text file, were these lines: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Shell Icons] "29"="D:\\alt\\system\\icons\\Green_SC_Arrow.bmp" This sucessfully changed the regestry to read: 29 D:\alt\system\icons\Green_SC_Arrow.bmp but it is not solving the delema. the white and black default ShortCutArrow icon still remains. --End NOTEs----------------------------------- Please Assist.
