| I suspect that it does no more than the registry change that was in the

| entries (if they occur) are no more than an annoyance as I recall.

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

| | | 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

| | | | A security upgrade broke Tweak's ability to alter the shortcut
| | arrow.
| | | I
| | | | would remove all the shortcuts from the desktop and put them
in
| an
| | easy
| | | to
| | | | 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

| | | the
| | | | right click context menu.

| | | | 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.
