    Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
    \Applets\Paint\Recent File List" -name file9
    ...

    you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

    or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.

  4. How can I remove greyed out people icon from file status when file is no longer shared

    Appended icon in some files in Win7

    Can't find it in the net

    Not sure what to call it to even search for it.

    If i make small tiles, the icon changes to a "setup" kind of one you see in .msi extensions.


    I have been cleaning PC of slack and moving files around, I have been also trying to decode these Fraps movies, i use TeraCopy, i remember i moved 20 fraps files from C: to D: in another folder for fraps movies, i've made up my mind in the middle and skipped ... i thought the files would be intact, seems they are, but this icon appeared after that.

    But i have no idea why these icons appear in files that were generated in encoded files, by VidEncoder.

    Feels like it's some symbolic link or network icon, i do have hardlink extension installed but no idea what is going on here.


    I also have FileMenuTools installed, but i still didn't use it this session. Also i've checked folders and files for sharing and permissions and no it's not shared either, wtf...
