Removing Shortcut Arrow On Desktop Icons

[ChildFree23]

I just upgraded to Vista Ultimate, and I was wondering if there was a way to
get rid of the "shortcut arrows" on my desktop icons. I find them to be
quite annoying!

I know that in the past, when I used WinXP, the (free) power toy TweakUI did
the trick, but I can't seem to find anything comparable for Vista.

Sincerely,
