Is there any similar method to hide text on files/folders that can be found on the desktop?

@jeterang8232 2 года назад

What a simple and easy tutorial with the desired results great work man!

@curtcoller3632 Год назад

Yep, most tutorials are either confusing or don't bring the results.

@YvonneGamache Год назад

This is actually incorrect - at least in Windows 11. If you follow the instructions and put the "-50" on the end, you get a black box where the arrow used to be. Per Microsoft, if you just use "50" (without the minus sign), it will create a transparent area, not a black area, which is what we're all looking for. Hope this helps!

@hammondsmucker Год назад

Works fine for me but it reset when i updated my pc today

@Skilital Год назад

worked for me on win 11

@chickenboi09 Год назад

-50 worked fine for me

@YourJakeFromStateFarm Год назад

Sweet thanks for the fix. I cut my laptop off and then back on, then there was black. so I took off the minus and yup now good lol

@arhennius Год назад

Yup mine turned into black boxes lol, thanks for the help

@conurm Год назад

ACTUAL FIX FOR WINDOWS 11 USERS: the black box is a windows 11 specific issue, but to fix it, don't follow any of the stuff others have listed cause i tried them and they didn't work. i found a fix instead where you double click the string value you made and just get rid of the value data and leave it blank. restart explorer, restart your pc, and it should actually stay blank this time. it worked for me, just thought i would share. hope it works for yall!

@rileyparks6411 2 года назад

thanks bro, restarting file explorer was much more convenient than restarting my pc. great to know that i can do that if the icons ever glitch again

To fix black boxes for windows 11: Set value of 29 in the registry (watch the video if you havn't) to a blank value, then restart explorer from task manager

@raizukar 2 года назад

Works for Windows 10 as well!

@PippyStockings 2 года назад

Worked for me on Windows 11 (version 21H2), thank you!!

@rezapanahi553 Год назад

It doesn't allow me to set 29 to a blank value. I tried setting it to a space but it didn't work.

@thatqne Год назад

@@rezapanahi553 there is also an application to do this for you it is called winareo tweaker

@arcadelinkauthor Год назад

@ThatOne How do you set it to a blank value?

@t-wrecks7481 2 года назад

I did this and it worked like a charm until I had to reboot. After reboot where there were once arrows were now black boxes that were almost as large as the icons themselves. I tried to restart Explorer but to no avail so I just went into the registry and deleted what I created. All is back to normal now and I'm happier with the arrows rather than this "fix." Sorry, but this didn't work too well for me.

Forget about these gymnastics with string values. JUST DELETE THE CODE YOU PUT IN 29 (i.e. %windir%\System32\shell32.dll,-50) AND RESTART.

IF YALL GOT BLACK BOXES DELETE WHAT YOU CREATED AND MAKE A NEW ONE BUT DONT PUT ANYTHING IN THE VALUE DATA thats what worked for me anyways OR you can change the size of your icons to something smaller and i think that works too

@dragunaut. 2 года назад

For people who got a black square, here is how to fix: 1. Download a blank, transparent .png and convert it to .ico file format 2. Save it somewhere in your pc, and copy its path 3. at 2:47 paste the path to the value data instead of what shown in the video This should work.

@billyjim1116 2 года назад

Where do you get a blank transparent png? Google images doesn't have any

@dragunaut. 2 года назад

@@billyjim1116 I cannot post a link because youtube would automatically hide my comment, but you can go to wikipedia and add "/wiki/File:Blank.png" to the url. There you have a blank png that you can download.

@JonnyLpW 2 года назад

sadly it gives it white page icons

@rezaangga1631 2 года назад

now i have white page icon on it hahaha

@dragunaut. 2 года назад

@@JonnyLpW Are you sure that you got the path right? Double check to see if you included the name of the blank picture file at the end. I removed the file's name from the path and it too showed white pages so this must be your problem. For example if you put "blank.ico" in a folder named "Picture" in the C drive. The path is "C:\Picture\blank.ico" and not just "C:\Picture" If that can't solve it then I'm out of idea. It works fine for me. Maybe try increasing the size of the .ico to 128x128

Is your issue solved?

@sa_ayham5984 2 года назад

Oh yes we all have this problem So I kind of solved it but not in the same time. There is no way to solve it permanently although u can delet thumbnails using DISK CLEANUP and then restart file explorer from the task manager but unfortunately u have to do that every time u boot up This problem still occurred to me even when I formatted my laptop (wasn't for that particular reason) so that unfortunately is the only solve I don't know why windows doesn't make it an option
