or Change the Shortcut Arrow (Windows 9x and NT)
Would you prefer to show your shortcuts without the arrow in the
bottom left hand courner? This tip will show you how to change the

To Remove the Icon:

To Change the Icon:

Note: Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
For example, the setting may look like:
(Default) (value not set)
29 "c:\windows\system\shell32.dll,21"
