Hi'a Galaxy Master. I too am wanting to remove the arrows from my desktop icons.
I did try Tweak UI, and although loaded and installed successfully, it doesn't seem
to be working. Me thinks there is at least one bug in that programme....lol. Saw
your posting and went through the steps you recommended. However, in my registry
(I'm running win98se) there is no Inkfile folder listed under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
The closest I have is Xnkfile. When I click on that folder, the file IsShortcut
is listed. Didn't touch it, cos I've never been in the registry before and, well,
you know...don't want to stuff it up.....lol. What would you recommend?
Ciao.....Me
