Windows 10: How to remove shared Icon from Drive

So I Figured Out How to Remove shared Icon from the drives!

All you need to do is make open Regedit and make a string at "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons".

The string should be named "28".

Enter its value as any blank Icon file.

Rebuild the Icon Cache and Restart pc or just explorer.

Boom Its Done.

The Annoying Overlay is Removed!

Cannot access shared network drive

I could scream! so much time wasted on this stupid error, as if time is not precious enough!
It probably would work fine if I could see the other computer! But I cannot see the other computer!

 

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.

 

How to remove shared Icon from Drive

Unfortunately, in order to remove that, you would have to stop sharing the drive. There's no method in removing the label icon for shared locations as it is an essential part of the OS to specify that it is shared.
