Hi Ramesh,

Thanks for your response. Just one question with regards
the below. I have gone into regedit via the path you
specified but cannot see the displayicon you mention.
Quake 3 Arena is a case example on my machine where it
seems to display a random icon. When I go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersio
n\Uninstall\Quake III Arena all I see in the right hand
pane is 3 things - Default, DisplayName & UninstallString.
There are no numerical values - Under default there is
(value not set), under DisplayName it is Quake III Arena
and under UninstallString there is a program path to Q3.isu

Is it one of these that I should alter/delete?

Thanks

Wayne

Hi Wayne,

This may be due to the fact the the program does not have
any icon resources within it. (You can open the program's
exe file using third-party icon viewers and verify that.
Or, use Change Icon for a shortcut and browse to the
application's executable.) Secondly, for Add/Remove list,
one can override the resource icon by using a DisplayIcon
registry value.

Example:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersi
on\Uninstall\Application

In the right-pane, look for the value DisplayIcon and
note where it is pointing to. Backup and delete this value
and restart Add/Remove Programs. It should now take the
program's own resource icon.

Hi,

I wondered if it is possible for the icons in the add or
remove programs list to be changed. Most of the icons for
what is installed is correct but for some programs the
icon displayed is wrong. It's only a cosmetic thing but I
would like to be able to fix this.

Thanks

Wayne
