Hi Sereby, I do not believe there is a simple way to do this with a registry change.
You can, however do it another way if you REALLY want it done. That little icon is
embedded into a .dll file that the programs need to perform the context menu functions.
But the functions will still work if the icon is removed (hacked) out of the .dll
file. If you want to pursue this further, I will help. You will need two programs
to do it. Download and install them if you want to try this, and post back for more
help if you want it. These are the programs you will need:
1. ShellExView , to identify the .dll file supplying the icon to
the context menu.
2. Resource Hacker, to remove the icon bitmap from the .dll and
save it modified. You will more than likely have to save the modified .dll under
another name since it will be "in use by another program" - like originalfile2.dll
Then getting it in the place of the originalfile.dll can be done in a number of ways
(safe mode, recovery console, MOVE the original to another spot, then rename originalfile2.dll
as originalfile.dll, etc).
I have used this method to do what you want, and it works fine.
