Remove shortcut arrow from desktop icons

not working

Go to Start menu>Run>Type Regedit>expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT>Scroll down to folder called LNKFILE>single click on the folder>In the right pane right click on IsShortcut and click delete.

It works, but you have to change the icon size for it to take effect.

Jus Install Tweakui (115 KB or something) then do it using it
simple

create a transparent icon replace it at
regedit>HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT>LNKFILE>in the right pane right click on IsShortcut

TweakUI is safest way to do this.

i Use TweakUI..

every body's answer (those who relate to regedit) was incomplete... tht's why the arrows were still visible.....

Do This:

1) Start --> Run type 'regedit' (without quotes)

2) Now we have to delete the 'IsShortCut' value from 3 different places.

(i) First delete it from 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile'

(ii) Then from 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\piffile'

(iii) Again from 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut'

3) Get out of Registry Editor

4) Restart

No More Arrows !!!
