I use the Detail view in Widows Explorer for file & folder use. Sometimes I
have very large executible files (>100MB) which Windows insists on reading
through to find an icon to display. This can lock up my PC for a couple of
minutes at a time. It's even worse when Windows tries to read icon data from
a floppy disk, despite the (relative) small size. How can I get XP to just
display the default icon for executibles, and not dig for the embedded ones?
TIA, beav
Start>Run>Regedit
Find the key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\DefaultIcon
Its current value will be "%1" (minus the quotes). Change it to the
following:
%SystemRoot%\System32\shell32.dll,-153
and your .EXE files will now all display with the same icon as .BAT
files. Hope this helps...
