    Desktop Arrow Symbols

    The arrow symbol in your screen capture is the standard arrow for a shortcut, it does not mean compression !!

    I tried this Shawn and it seemed to work after a restart. I then shut Win 10 down and booted into Windows 7. I read my email and then shut Win 7 down. When I started up Windows 10, there was a Black box where the Icon was. I then used the method in Windows 10 Manager and all is well. Just an FYI. I used the reg method BTW..

    Using this does work and is an option. I use it with no issues in Win10 10240.
