Can someone please tell me how to eliminate the arrows that are on
shortcut
icons on the desktop? I used to know how to do it, but cannot remember.
First of all, the little arrows serve a very useful purpose. The
differentiate shortcuts from actual files so that you don't accidentally
delete a file thinking it is a shortcut. Note the suggestion you got to get
rid of shortcuts and put your program and data files on your desktop is a
really STUPID idea. IMHO, you should never place critical files on the
desktop. Always use shortcuts.
If you must, the advice about TWEAKUI for XP will do the trick, just don't
come complaining if someday you delete something critical off your desktop
and get screwed.
