BobS,
Are you saying that TweakUI will not work on anything else that it's designed for,
or just the arrow removal part?? (I can confirm from my own experience that the
arrow removal part no longer works after applying certain "Critical Updates" - see
my other post in this thread).
Does the "Critical update" that changes the shell32.dll file disbable ALL functions
of TweakUI??? It sounds like you're saying that it just impacts the arrow removal
part of TweakUI, but I wanted to ask for sure.
TIA
BJ
