shortcut arrows

How can i get rid of the arrow in the shortcut icon.many windows ago
there was a way by using tweak ui. it just makes the icon nicer to
look at.

There is still the same way using the proper TweakUI Power Toy for XP.

Same way - with TweakUI.

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.

Are you trying to download the correct version of TweakUI--not an old
Windows 98 version?

Try downloading again - it could have been a corrupted download.
