Did you download and try only the new Remove_shortcut_overlay.reg file in OPTION ONE?
Yes, this one:
Code:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; Created by: Shawn Brink ; https://www.tenforums.com ; Tutorial: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/8974-shortcut-arrow-icon-change-remove-restore-windows-10-a.html [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\IE.AssocFile.URL] "IsShortcut"=- [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile] "IsShortcut"=-
Yep. I forgot to add the line below back to it.
Updated again. How does it work for you now?
Code:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons] "29"=-
Add:
And, we have a winner! :)Code:[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut] "IsShortcut"=-
Our last two posts were almost simultaneous. I hadn't tried your update from post #42 yet. I *have* now tried your update from post #42, and it still leaves the shortcut arrows on the .url shortcuts. To be clear, the addition from post #43 is needed.
Following tips earlier in this thread, I successfully removed the shortcut arrows using ShellFolderFix64 and everything was fine. Set a new Restore Point. Rebooted. All fine.
Next day from cold start, as I watched screen, all icons came up fine for a few seconds, then abruptly all changed to solid black boxes. JPG attached (I hope).
I'm puzzled. Anyone have a great idea on how to get back the correct icons on my Win10 Home screens (twin monitors)?

Hello Rene, :)
Since you used a 3rd party program instead of the method in this tutorial, you could do a system restore using a restore point dated before you made the change if the program's restore/undo feature doesn't fix it.
