First, how can I take away the small arrow on the desktop icons? I have seen
a post on this some time ago, but can not find it.
Second, can someone tell me how to change the top of IE, where it says
Microsoft Internet Explorer, I would like to customize it with my own banner,
is this possable?
I appreciate any help/.
 
Hi,

1) Using TweakUI, you can change the shortcut icon overlay. Under TweakUI,
navigate to Explorer > shortcut and choose 'none'.

2) You may download and run the following edit to remove the IE branding:

You can get rid of the arrows with a registry edit, or more
easily and more safely by using the free TweakUI, downloadable as
part of Microsoft PowerToys at
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp
(if you have SP1 or SP2 installed) or
http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe
(or if you don't have SP1 or SP2).



However, my recommendation is that you do *not* do this. The
arrows serve an important function--providing quick visual
identification of a shortcut. If you remove the arrows, you run
the substantial risk that sooner or later you will delete
something you wanted to keep, thinking that you were just
deleting a shortcut to it. I would either leave the arrows as
they are, or alternatively use the TweakUI option of light
arrows, which are somewhat less visible that the regular ones.
