    How do I remove the shortcut arrows


    Using Win 10 single language home version. How do I remove the little shortcut arrows from the desktop icons? Tried the regedit tutorial creating new shell with file 29, but it just created little black boxes where the shortcut arrows were so I had to remove it.

    :)

    Unable to pin icons to Taskbar after making registry changes

    A while ago I removed the shortcut arrows on the icons with the Registry Editor and I can't pin icons to my task-bar because of it.

    How can I restore the arrows?

    Shortcut icons are shown as black squares

    Thanks to the update of Windows 10 my system needs to be recalibrated. One of the things I never understood where the small arrows under shortcuts on your desktop (and other places). I remove them by default. And by default this setting is lost when you
    get a major update. A quick search on the internet gave me
    How To Remove Shortcut Arrows In Windows 10 Without Software.     Today I found the arrows under the shortcuts where gone, and replaced by little black boxes. How do I get rid of these black boxes?

    Hello jacatone, *Smile

    If you like, you can use the downloadable transparent.ico file in the yellow tip boxes in the tutorial posted above to not have a black box.
