Strange icon overlay issue

[jsc572]

Not sure if it's bug, the hand icon overlay on shared folder won't go away after I unchecked "show icon overlays" in config, I even disabled it in the registry. shared folder icon looks just like unshared ones in explorer, maybe xyp is showing the catched icon from somewhere?

Did you try refreshing? menu "View>Caches>Refresh List Icons Cache" and maybe try restarting XY.

tried all refresh options , restarted xyp and xp several times, still no dice. I can see the hand overlay is removed in explorer, also, I can change folder icons within xyp and it will refresh fine but that hand overlay just won't quit. any other idea?

I read your post again. Question: Is the sharing for this folder still ON? If yes, then i guess you cannot remove that by unchecking "show icon overlays". I guess the overlays in this case is for third party ones like Tortoise SVN etc. I dont know a way to remove the window's hand overlay for shared folder using XY.
But you can try this registry tweak:
goto below path in registry and set the sharing handler default to "-" instead of "ntshrui.dll".
Registry Path: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Network\SharingHandler]@=-

Tip: If you are not a big fan of any icons you can turn them off from XY's config>advanced. Check "Use generic icons for super-fast browsing".

I already hacked registry, that's way when I checked folders with explorer, I don't see the overlay hand. but you are right about the folders still being shared, I just want the icon for shared folders in xyp to look just like normal folder.

I think this is a typical one-person-only wish... ... try to find a crowd that supports you.

EDIT: Well, I never liked the hand symbols either, and it also makes browsing a (tiny unnotable) bit faster, so I added a tweak to hide them.
