The image of shortcuts in Microsoft Windows operating systems is complemented by a small arrow in the lower left corner of the icon of the called application or file. You can remove the arrow from the label by redirecting the arrow image.
Instructions
Step 1
This image of an arrow on labels (sometimes an arrow framed in a square) is a.png"
Step 2
Move the “blank.ico” file from this archive to the C: WINDOWS folder, replacing the original file.
Step 3
Now from the same archive, run the registry edit file “RemoveArrow.reg” and allow the changes to be applied to the system.
Step 4
After the performed operation, you need to log out and log back in, you can just restart your computer. Now the shortcuts are displayed without arrows. To return the arrows to the shortcuts in Windows 7, use the “RestoreArrow.reg” file from the same archive.
Step 5
Users of Windows Vista and Windows XP operating systems get rid of shortcuts in a slightly different way. Find in the "Start" program "Run" ("Run"), usually it is in the standard programs, the folder "System". Run it and enter “regedit.exe” into the program launch line (without quotes). The registry editor will open in front of you.
Step 6
Using the left menu, find the directories in it:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClasseslnkfile
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassespiffile
Remove the “Is Shortcut” parameter in these directories. Then close Registry Editor and restart your computer. To return arrows to shortcuts, re-write this parameter in the directories.
