Remove Shortcut Arrows

In Windows XP, shortcuts are a great thing. One thing that is kind of irritating is that every shortcut has that little arrow plastered on the icon (so you can tell it?s a shortcut). If you would like to remove the shortcut arrows from your desktop icons, follow this guide:

START - RUN - REGEDIT - HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT - lnkfile - On the Right Hand Side Locate the IsShortcut key, then right click on it and select delete
Reboot your computer.
