Before I changed to Vista I used the Powertoys to delete the arrow on the
Icons that were on the Desktop. How do I make them go away in Vista.

Thanks to all
Dave

be aware that using registry or tools to remove icon arrows has been known to cause other problems.

LOL like anybody would notice 8-)

Only if it's done the wrong way.

Deleting the 'IsShortcut' registry entry is wrong.

Replacing the arrow overlay with a transparent icon is right.

Is there one? Or a way to make that Shortcut arroe smaller? I am
running my resolution at 1600x1200. Icons are ok it is just that
shortcut arrow.

Thank you very much. I downloaded and installed FxVisor.

I tried before to remove the shortcut arrow but after I did that
whenever I tried to run a game from within Games Explorer. They would
not load. With FxVisor I got rid of the arrow and still can launch
games within Games Explorer.

Thanks again.

Bill

You're welcome Bill.
