re: The little arrows are back to stay Tuesday, May 20, 2003 at 1:28 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Cliff Treadway (1 messages posted) I use Windows 98 Second Edition (Win 98SE). First of all I recommend you let those "IsShortcut" values alone. Doing anything with those values can only cause you frustration and a number of headaches. This is not a guess or assumption: When a recent update is applyed (March 2003, I've read), an icon corruption in shell32.dll results. To restore shell32, from the Run dialog, type sfc (for "System File Checker"). From there follow the instructions to restore the original copy of shell32.dll from your Windows CD-ROM (or Windows installation folder to the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder. After that, restart the system. Your arrows should be gone. If you have any build of Windows 95, you can restore the file from within DOS mode. Hopefully you've resolved the issue by now, but good luck.
