Change or Remove the Explorer Shortcut Arrow SUMMARY: Get rid of arrows appearing on shortcut icons on your Windows XP system using Tweak UI.
Tired of seeing arrows on Windows XP Explorer shortcut icons? Would you rather see a more transparent arrow or none at all? If so, you can make this change with Tweak UI:
1. Download and run Tweak UI for Windows XP.
2. Double-click "Explorer" in the left pane to expand the tree.
3. Select "Shortcut" in the left pane.
4. In the right pane, choose one of the following Shortcut Overlay radio button:
* Arrow (default)
* Light Arrow
* None
* Custom (this lets you choose a custom arrow, perhaps one you create with an icon editor).
Note that changing this setting affects all users on the system.
5. When done, click "OK" to close the dialog box.
