Remove or Change the Shortest Arrow Icon
A tiny modification to XP. If you prefer not to see the short-cut arrow icon in the bottom corner of the short-cut, use this hack to change it-or even remove it.To delete the icon, remove the entry IsShortCut from the following keys:
HCR\Inkfile (in “Inkfile”, it’s a small “ell,” not an “I”)
HCR\Inkfile (in “Inkfile”, it’s a small “ell,” not an “I”)
HCR\piffile
HCR\InternetShortcut
To change the icon, go to:HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons
Change the String Value entries for the setting “29” to the path and filename of the new icon. Setting this value to blank has the same effect as deleting them, but without any side effects.
By deleting the icon, Windows no longer considers these short-cuts as shortcuts. There may be some side effect in using the short-cuts after this change: in some cases, deleting the arrow for .LNK files leads to duplicate items in the Explorer context menu. Ideally, rather than deleting the icon, just remove the file path to be on safe side.Change the String Value entries for the setting “29” to the path and filename of the new icon. Setting this value to blank has the same effect as deleting them, but without any side effects.
