I'm currently dealing with ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
in Windows, where I'm trying to delete (or rename) some OneDrive
keys in the registry. I'm using Windows 10 64-Bit, admin account. Since only a few number of such ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
are possible at the same time on Windows, I want to delete the OneDrive
keys (or at least rename them with e.g. a "z" prefix to appear at the end) to make e.g. my DropBox
icons showing up again.
I navigated to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
. Deleting/Renaming e.g. a Tortoise
key is not a problem at all, but only the OneDrive
keys causing trouble.
Acutally, when I tried to delete/rename them, an error message showed up: OneDriveX cannot be deleted. Failure while trying to delete the key.
Note that this is my translation of the error message and that X has to be replaced by the actual number.
I also tried to right click on such a key -> permissions to give me full access. But when I click on OK, an error message shows up like: The permission information for OneDriveX has not been saved. Access denied
.
Does anyone know how to get rid of those OneDrive keys or already had the same problem?
Thanks in advance.
stop the running Onedrive.exe first – magicandre1981 – 2015-12-23T16:42:19.137
