Hmm, was just looking again at the image I posted... And when the "show hidden shares" in unchecked, the hidden drive share still uses the default windows icon (so there are 2 different icons already used). When I set an icon in Classic Shell under "Share overlay icon" does that ...

Can't really argue with that, especially #1... the 15 overlay icons limit is just plain stupid. I guess I'll just have to keep Share overlay icon as %windir%\system32\shell32.dll,50 and keep all the overlays hidden (drives and folders) like I was currently doing :| And btw, the current overlay on th...

Maybe I wasn't clear, but I meant to say that it should be possible to use an empty icon as overlay (shell32.dll,50 was the example I gave) to hide the overlay icon. It's already possible (but it hides the overlay for both, folder & drive) if I change the icon in "Share overlay icon: %windi...

Exacly... but because if it's checked the overlay changes, it should be possible to change the drive share overlay or hide it (maybe using an empty icon, like shell32.dll,50) with Classic Shell if the option to do so was implemented? This is what I tried to request (maybe not very clearly) with the ...

Somehow I missed it, but I just upgraded today... Unfortunately, although it seems to work perfectly for shared folders, it doesn't seem to work for shared drives. I'm currently sharing my D: drive as 'workspace$' but the overlay icon is still showing. I'm not sure if this is a problem with Windows ...

Can you please show a screenshot? To make a folder hidden, you just need to add a dollar sign a the end of the share name. Those are the kind of folders for which I would prefer not to have an overlay icon (if possible). Same goes for drives, if I share a drive as "driveD$" I would prefer...

I'm talking about the overlay icon on the folders/drives I'm sharing, not the ones being shared to me. For example, if I share D:\www as "www", it's gonna get the overlay icon. But, if I share is as "www$" (hidden share) I would like the www folder not the have the overlay icon. ...

The add icon overlay for shared folders (and drives) is great, but, it would be really nice if there was an option to disable it for hidden shares (share names that end with $)
