Remove shortcut arrow from desktop icons

Post by editorawais » Jul 02, 2009 Views: 1768

Here’s how you can remove those shortcut arrows from your desktop icons in Windows XP. This is a simple, neat trick. You need to know how to use Registry Editor, and you are done :)

Just follow the simple steps below to remove the arrow:

1. Start regedit.
2. Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/lnkfile
3. Delete the IsShortcut registry value.


You may need to restart Windows XP for the changes to take affect.

Enjoy! :P
