It is a tool that can display hard links, directory links, symbolic links and other file types in the lower left corner of the file icon. In 23H2, the icons of the created hard links, directory links and other files can be displayed normally, but after updating to 24H2, it cannot be seen in xplorer. It can only display the shortcut icon in the directory connection file category similar to the default shortcut icon of Windows Explorer. However, Windows Explorer can distinguish and display them normally.

I am only theorizing because I haven't used LSE, but most likely you will need to manually make sure that this reg key

Code: Select all

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers

mostly matches this:

Code: Select all

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers

at least in regards to LinkShellExt entries, their entries will need to be near the top of the list. If you find you need to make changes a Explorer restart will be required to see the effects in XY.

Thank you, the problem is solved.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
I have edited this before, so Windows can display it.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
I didn't know that I needed to edit this, and this solved my problem. But in the 23h2 version, I don't need to edit this location, I only edit the first path.
