Icon Shortcut Arrow Removal

If you are using IconPackager then click on it to bring up the main dialogue...click on th e"settings" tab/icon and "UNCHECK" the "Display shortcut" overlays box.

Hope that works for ya!

TweakUi by MS can do that. There is also a registry tweak :

Copy this into notepad and save as 'Shortcut.inf', then right click the file and choose 'Install'.

; setup file will edit the registry to remove the little arrows on short cuts

I use Winboost 4 to do that before I spent my $50 on this limited package OBJECT Desktop.
