My files associated with UE are not showing the right icons in windows explorer.
Because of the “inability to install in Program Files” issue, I have recently tried to “clean” all of the Unreal/Epic Games entries out of the registry thinking some leftover registry trash was messing up the install directory. I uninstalled UE 4 versions, uninstalled the UE 4 launcher, then searched the registry and deleted any entry for “unreal” or “epic games”.
Now upon reinstalling to another directory (because “program files” wouldn’t work, I opted for “epic games” right off the C drive) none of my .uproject or other files show the correct icons in windows explorer. I do see the correct context menu and associated icons in the context menu, it’s just the icons on the files that are missing. I don’t see why reinstalling the launcher hasn’t fixed this, any ideas?
