TweakUI for Vista?

[Joe727]

Is there a version of TweakUI for Vista? I'd like to get rid of the arrows
on the Desktop shortcuts.

To remove the "Shortcut Arrows" go to both these keys...

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LNKFILE

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PIFFILE



And delete the the entry that says 'IsShortcut' in BOTH keys. Then log off
and back on. You can export and save each key beforehand as to be able to
reverse any actions.

Thanks - however, the arrow still shows up on Internet Shortcuts. Any idea
on how to get rid of the arrow on those?

Thanks - I don't understand why MS keeps those arrows. Must be the same
people who set a default sound for Start Navigation.
