TweakUI -> Explorer -> Shortcut -> None.

If that's too simple, try "Method 2":

Remove or modify the arrow used on shortcuts in Windows XP

You can get rid of the arrows with a registry edit, or more easily and more
safely by using the free TweakUI, downloadable as part of Microsoft
PowerToys at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp
(if you have SP1 or SP2 installed) or
http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe
(if you don't have SP1 or SP2).

However, my recommendation is that you do *not* do this. The arrows serve an
important function--providing quick visual identification of a shortcut. If
you remove the arrows, you run the substantial risk that sooner or later you
will delete something you wanted to keep, thinking that you were just
deleting a shortcut to it. I would either leave the arrows as they are, or
alternatively use the TweakUI option of light arrows, which are somewhat
less visible that the regular ones.
