El Sitherino Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 Originally posted by Pal™ IS, you always have the best desktops in these threads. That's because I'm super fantastic, and have superior taste to nearly everyone on this forum. And screw tweakUI. Just use regedit.
edlib Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 *Shrugs* Sorry guys... Always works for me... and avoids all that nasty mucking about in the registry like with Regedit. The program does a LOT of other REALLY useful things as well. It's always one of the first things I install. You didn't accidently download the 64-bit version did'ya Grooves? I did that once by mistake. If you ever do happen to get it working, then you just have to go into the program, click on the "Explorer" tab, then to "Shortcut" and set the "Shortcut Overlay" to 'None.' No more arrows!

When I do that, it just freezes up on me, and the working in backround hourglass just goes on forever....and yet the arrows don't come off...wtf?
edlib Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 Hmmm... dunno. Maybe there's some system-wide security setting that this conflicts with. Maybe shut off any real-time protection stuff (like Norton SystemWorks or something similar) temporarily when you try it. Sounds like something's keeping you from writing a new registry value. Are you on as an Administrator account when you try it? I've never had a problem with it at all on a bunch of different computers. Very strange...
El Sitherino Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 TweakUI doesn't always work with every computer. I like using regedit because it's more efficient and less restricting.

Are you on as an Administrator account when you try it? I've never had a problem with it at all on a bunch of different computers. Very strange... I finally made it work. I dunno how or what made me think of this, but I basically deleted all but a few of my icons, ran it, then restored my original icons. Then it worked. Looked so good, I wound up pimping my desktop for a couple of hours. Check this out now, and note my groovy new winamp skin!
