Windows 7 - transparent shortcut icon
#1

This thing removes shortcut arrow icon properly in Windows 7.
First try was to remove the shortcut flag from LNK file types, but there was a problem with it not being able to pin to taskbar, and other explorer related bugs (doubled context commands).
Second was to set the arrow icon to transparent (using shell32.ico), but it only worked till next restart, because there is a bug in Win7 causing 100% transparent icons to cache as black.

So here is an icon (99,9% transparent) with one black pixel in the middle (with 1/255 opacity); practically transparent. And it works just fine for me Wink

Installation
  1. extract ICO to Windows directory
  2. execute REG file, confirm changes
  3. kill and start explorer.exe again / re-login / reboot to apply changes

Transparency can be difficult to achieve with Windows 7 shortcut icons, but it is possible. You may need to build or locate an icon that supports transparency, and then alter the shortcut's icon. Exploring contract law research topics might provide intriguing insights into current legal trends and issues. Topics such as the effect of digital contracts on classical contract law concepts or the function of good faith in contractual agreements provide numerous opportunities for investigation.
