Hello!
I am having a very specific question:
I have a single shortcut, and on that single shortcut, I do not want to see any shortcut
arrow.
There are ways presented to hide all shortcut arrows (by removing the "Isshortcut"
tag in the registry for lnk:s and pif:s), but none for single shortcut files.
This should maybe be solvable by creating a special CLSID for this very file, and
then marking it there not to be a shortcut.
Is there any other way to make a redirection from one place in the filesystem to
another in Windows 98/ME/NT4/2K/XP? (And still have it feel like a normal icon?)
Regards
Mikael M
