Win8 Desktop Icon Shortcuts small arrows Quick removal method

Since I started with XP, I don't like the small arrows of desktop shortcuts very much, Whether it's a later vista or a windows7. So I remove the shortcut arrows by installing a similar optimization tool like Windows Optimizer, and on the latest WINDOWS8 we can use a simple technique to achieve the goal.

Right-click on the desktop to create a new text document, copy the following code in, Save as Win8.bat (file type Select all files), right-click "Run as Administrator", restart the computer can be the method shortcut arrows disappeared.

REG ADD "Hkey_local_machinesoftwaremicrosoftwindowscurrentversionexplorershell Icons"/V 29/d

"%systemroot%system32imageres.dll,197"/t reg_sz/f

taskkill/f/im Explorer.exe

Attrib-s-r-h "%userprofile%appdatalocaliconcache.db"

Del "%userprofile%appdatalocaliconcache.db"/f/q

Start explorer

If you need to restore the small arrows, you can use the same method, with the following code.

reg delete "Hkey_local_machinesoftwaremicrosoftwindowscurrentversionexplorershell Icons"/V 29/f

taskkill/f/im Explorer.exe

Attrib-s-r-h "%userprofile%appdatalocaliconcache.db"

Del "%userprofile%appdatalocaliconcache.db"/f/q

Start explorer
