Hiding overlays from directory junctions

Can you allow users to hide overlays from directory junctions? In version 9.0a it wasn't problem, because this version didn't show overlays on directory junctions. But newer versions do. Overlay is showed even if you uncheck "show overlay icons, e.g. for links" from "Configuration\Icons".

Sorry, you can't. 9.0a showed some of them as a big arrow icon, some as a normal folder.

Is it big problem to implement it? I've found that TC is using icon number 173 from TOTALCMD64.EXE file to put over the folder icon. If I replace this icon with transparent icon it resolves the problem, but after couple of seconds alert appears that TOTALCMD executable file is corrupted :(

You can use an external icon dll. Use the following as a starting point:

See README.TXT inside for instructions.

Unfortunately this external icon dll works only in 9.0a version. But in newer versions overlay is put to custom icon 0012_13.ico (which is for directory junctions)

Icons are handled differently in both versions:
