The arrows on the shortcut icons on the desktop are missing even though
the shortcut overlay in TweakUI is set to Arrow. Changing the setting
from "light arrow" back to "arrow" makes no difference. They're kind of
handy. How can I get them back? The previous owner may have removed them.

Well, you can try this to see if it works:

First, BACK UP YOUR REGISTRY.

Then, open Regedit, and from the drop-down File menu, click on "find".
Type into that box, as you see it here:

IsShortcut

Every time it stops, see if those words are preceded by the letter "x"
(or any other letter for that matter). If so, highlight and remove just
the "x" (or whatever). Then his F3 to find the next example of those
words (there are six or eight of them).

If your first few stops on "IsShortcut" show just that word, and no "x"
in from of it, close out of Regedit, and keep looking for another
solution. What TweakUI does is put an "x" in front of the word to
eliminate the arrow.

None has an "x" in front.
