[TRICK] Remove shortcut arrow from desktop icons

Sometimes when you use shortcuts on desktop for your frequently used files or movies it is ugly to see a small Shortcut arrow at the bottom corner of the Shortcut icon.

Here's how you can remove those shortcut arrows from your desktop icons in Windows XP. :idea:

1. Start regedit ie; Start->Run->regedit


2. Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile

(If you find difficult in reaching this file location, simply Press Ctrl+F to open find window. Enter "IsShortcut" and click find. now Press f3 till you get the file Inkfile located at Hkey_Classes_Root\Inkfile)


3. Delete the IsShortcut registry value.



You may need to restart Windows XP.
