Me again,

Does anyone know how to remove the arrows from shortcuts.
I tried with my XP version of Tweak-XP but that's not compatable.
Any ideas folks?

Dave.
 
try removing the following reg key's


; Remove Arrow Overlay from Desktop Shortcuts
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile]
"IsShortcut"=
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut]
"IsShortcut"=
 
In Vista, removing those keys will remove 'Favorite Links' in
Windows Explorer.

Thanks guys,

That's cool. I didn't like the 'Favorite Links' in Windows Explorer anyway.

I should clarify- it doesn't remove "Favorite Links", it removes
the links that are there and you can't put them back.

I use this method with FXVisor - I actually like the blue one - less
intrusive.
