Manually remove the Windows 7 shortcut arrow

Note: This method is only suitable for friends who don't like optimization software. If you are used to optimization masters or other optimization software, you don't have to look down. This method is purely a personal hobby.

Since you claim to be the correct method, let's talk about the wrong method first:

Error Method 1:
PassDeleteRegistry
Hkey_classes_root \ lnkfile
Hkey_classes_root \ piffile
Remove the shortcut arrow in isshortcut.
Although this method can remove small arrows, there are sequelae: Super taskbar cannot be used, Start Menu game cannot be opened, right-click "computer"ManagementCannot open...

Error Method 2:
Modify the Registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ shell icons]
"29" = "C: \ WINDOWS \ system32 \ shell32.dll, 50"
Use the system's default transparent icon to overwrite the small arrow.
This method was valid at the time, but the next day, you will find that all the shortcuts on the desktop have a small black block
As for Master optimization, I have always liked Manual Optimization, so I will not comment on this software if I have never used it.


the correct method is:
Find a transparent ICO icon and save it to C: \ win dows file folder, the file name is empty. ICO
Create a text document, paste the following content, save it as a registry file with the extension Reg, double-click Import, log out and log on again ( Vista also applies)
This method is simple, quick, and has no side effects. It does not rebound after removal ...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ shell icons]
" 29 "=" C :\\ WINDOWS \ empty. ICO, 0 "
