Next, find the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer to check whether the Shell Icons item exists.

PS: A small arrow is one of the icons of a shortcut that distinguishes it from other icons. We do not recommend that you remove it. If you must beautify the registry, you can refer to the following method: Open the Registry Editor and locate it in sequence: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ explorer \ Shell Icons (the Shell Icons item is not the default item. If it does not exist, create a new one .) In the detail window on the right of www.2cto.com, right-click and select "New> string value" and name the new string "29 ". (If a value named "29" already exists, you do not need to create a new one ). Double-click "29" and enter C: \ Windows \ System32 \ shell32.dll and 51 in the value data box (Here C Represents the system disk drive letter, which can be changed according to the actual situation ), then press OK to save. Similarly, find HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Shell Icons to add (or modify) a string value named "29" in the preceding method. This step is very important. If you only modify the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE branch, the shortcut icon may become invalid after modification. After completing the preceding steps, restart your computer. (If you want to restore the small arrow, simply delete the value "29" as described in solution .) This article is from Jinshan Engineer
