Once you select the radio button, the desktop is automatically updated and you’ll see the arrows have disappeared. The nice thing about this program is that you don’t even have to log off for it to work.
The classic arrow is a smaller arrow than the default one and you can also choose a custom image if you want something other than an arrow to show up on the icon.
Once you run the EXE file, you’ll get a simple dialog as shown below where you can choose from one of four options. There are 32 and 64-bit versions for Windows 7 & Vista and the same for Windows 8. Once you download it, just unzip the files and then navigate to the appropriate directory for your OS and platform. Windows Shortcut Arrow Editor is a nifty little program is my favorite because it not only works on Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 32 or 64-bit versions, but also doesn’t require you to mess around with the registry. This will also work on 32 or 64-bit versions of Windows. Now just log off and log back in or restart your computer and the arrows should be gone from your desktop icons if done correctly. In the Value Data field, go ahead and copy and paste the following:Ĭlick OK and close out the registry editor. Then double-click on the entry to bring up the key editor. Right-click on any white area in the right-pane and choose New – String Value.Ĭhange the name to the number 29 and press Enter. Then click on Shell Icons in the left pane and you’ll see just a key named Default in the right-hand pane.
Now type in Shell Icons with the capitalization shown in the screenshot above. If it’s not there, right-click on Explorer in the left-hand pane and choose New – Key.Ī new key will appear in the left-hand menu and you’ll have to give it a name. Note that you may not have the Shell Icons key under Explorer by default.
