How to remove the shortcut arrow from icon on the desktop


Creating shortcuts of a file on the desktop or anywhere the user want, is a facility that is provided by Windows for its better user experience. Although this facility is provided by Windows for their user convenience and its saves lots of time for their Users, now user doesn’t have to navigate through programs or any Hard drive files,  if he/she had created a Shortcut for that file. Instead of all this, sometimes the shortcuts Icon looks very odd because of it arrow in the lower left corner. If you feel same that I, then I have a solution for you. The best way to change the shortcut arrow setting is to use the most popular Microsoft Power Toy, Tweak UI.  You can get a copy of this from Power Toys Web page, located at “http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx”.
Follow these steps to remove arrow :-

  • Click the Start Menu and expand all Programs, Power Toys for Windows XP, and then select Tweak UI to open.
  • Expand The Explorer entry and select Shortcut.





  • Now you have four different Shortcut Overlay options. I suggest you try the light arrow options first.    If you don’t like it, click None, to remove the Shortcut arrows.
  • Click Ok to save. And reboot your system.
