Remove shortcut arrow icons (corrupts to black square)

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. Adding a new account initially seemed to work but after a few reboots it corrupted again. If I find the time I might try creating a new dll with the icon file in it, although I doubt that will help since the default dll also has a transparent icon that kept corrupting. Such a weird bug, no? It works about 25% of the time, and none of the other icons revert to a black square. I could also try making an "icon" that has one colored pixel in it, maybe it's something with how windows reads fully transparent icons, although I would expect it to get the black square always then. I'll update if I find a solution that works.

Huzzah! Victory! At least for now. Adding 1 black pixel to the .ico file seems to have worked, 4 reboots so far and no ugly black squares. I can see the pixel if I look close but I think this is a solution I can live with. The file is here if anyone wants it.nearlyblank.ico

 

Remove shortcut arrow icons (corrupts to black square)

Each Winaero tweak is supported by a link to how it works. So, FWIW here it is for you: I don't expect it will be any different as you suggest.

Do you see the same if you create a new user for test purposes, log in as that user and then try?
