Create a String value named DisplayIcon and mention the=20
path where the Quake program resides.

Hi Ramesh,

Thanks for your response. Just one question with regards=20
the below. I have gone into regedit via the path you=20
specified but cannot see the displayicon you mention.=20
Quake 3 Arena is a case example on my machine where it=20
seems to display a random icon. When I go to=20
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersi
o
n\Uninstall\Quake III Arena all I see in the right hand=20
pane is 3 things - Default, DisplayName &=20
UninstallString.=20
There are no numerical values - Under default there is=20
(value not set), under DisplayName it is Quake III Arena=20
and under UninstallString there is a program path to=20
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=20
have=20
any icon resources within it. (You can open the program's=20
exe file using third-party icon viewers and verify that.=20
Or, use Change Icon for a shortcut and browse to the=20
application's executable.) Secondly, for Add/Remove list,=20
one can override the resource icon by using a DisplayIcon=20
registry value.

Example:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cu rrentVers
i
on\Uninstall\Application

In the right-pane, look for the value DisplayIcon and=20
note where it is pointing to. Backup and delete this=20
value=20
and restart Add/Remove Programs. It should now take the=20
program's own resource icon.

Hi,

I wondered if it is possible for the icons in the add or=20
remove programs list to be changed. Most of the icons=20
for=20
what is installed is correct but for some programs the=20
icon displayed is wrong. It's only a cosmetic thing but=20
I=20
would like to be able to fix this.

Thanks

Wayne
