how to turn off overlay icons?

[Nick1812]

I would like to turn off those shortcut overlay icons with a *.reg-file. Does anybody know where to find the right key in the registry?

Thanks, Nick

I found the solution myself:
find the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\lnkfile]
and delete the string: IsShortcut=""

By the way: the following Tip I found on this site doesn't work! (on my computer anyway)

find [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons]
add "29"=""

Can someone tell me how to delete a key from the registry with a *.reg-file??
