re: Question about 'Get rid of Shortcut Residue' Sunday, June 23, 2002 at 5:19 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by drybo (9 messages posted) I deleted the IsShortcut values ONLY in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile & piffile as suggested and it worked like a charm. Thanx kindly for the responses! I also have a shortcut to a webpage on my desktop and that arrow remained. Any ideas on how to lose it by editing the registry without any software downloads?
