I suspect that it does no more than the registry change that was in the
article I referred you to in my first response. If you get double entries
on your context menu, that will be the reason why. By the way, the double
entries (if they occur) are no more than an annoyance as I recall.

I found a perfect solution for this problem - a freeware program FreshUI.
It
was able to remove those arrows!

| | I don't recall which patch did it as it was well over a year
ago--you

| | Here is the essence of the article I referred you to:
| |
| | SUMMARY
| | When you create a shortcut or program information file (PIF), the
icon
| that
| | is generated has an arrow in the lower left corner. Microsoft
Windows
| has a
| | registry setting called IsShortcut that causes this arrow to appear.
| | MORE INFORMATION
| | WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious
problems
| that
| | may require you to reinstall Windows. Microsoft cannot guarantee
that
| | problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be
| solved.
| | Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
| |
| | NOTE: For information about how to edit the registry, view the
Changing
| Keys
| | And Values online Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe). Note
that
| you
| | should make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and
| User.dat)
| | before you edit the registry.
| |
| | If you do not want new shortcut icons to contain this arrow, use
| Registry
| | Editor to search for and remove the IsShortcut value from:
| |
| | HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\piffile

| | I

an

| | | access place on the start menu.
| | |
| | | http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=126631 This article tells
how
to
| | remove
| | | the arrow; however, be aware that it can also cause double
entries

| | | Hi,
| | | After downloading latest upgrades from Microsoft web site, I'm
not
| | able
| | to
| | | change the shortcut arrows look anymore. I choose "light
arrow"
| with
| | | TweakUI, but nothing happens.
| | | Thanks if anyone can give me some advice here how to fix this
| thing.
