1. Open Regedit (Start - Run - type 'Regedit') (w/o quotes) or MS key + 'R'
2. Navigate to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT - lnkfile . (To speed up scroll, tyle 'l' to get you down
to the l's)

3. On the right panel, delete the following key "IsShorcut"
4. Close REGEDIT and Restart your computer.

You need to RESTART for the new settings take effect.

Is there anyway to remove the little black and white arrow icon that shows up
shortcut icons? I have some nice icons and that arrow just takes so much away

from the overall look of things.

But even though you _can_ remove the arrows, it may not be wise. It
can make a difference sometimes whether you're manipulating a
shortcut or the actual program.

I've found that I can just: Right-click on the title; select "rename"
and type in a new name for the icon: "WP10", "C-Drive", "Q-Time Player",
etc. It won't remove the arrow - but does eliminate the "Shortcut to"
that takes up so much extra space. Hope that helps!
