Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer 2. On the right panel, look for a key named as link 3. Double click on it and change the value to 00 00 00 00 4. Reboot your PC in order for it to be effective after changing the registry key Once you have completed the above steps, try to create a shortcut for any file or folder and you will notice – Shortcut suffix is no longer there. However, if you would like to rollback the changes, you can change the value back to 15 00 00 00, followed by a PC reboot. Written in response to: re: Argh!! I just want the stupid arrows to GO AWAY!
