    I've read a few guides online and when I applied them and rebooted my icons still had the arrow.....I think it's tricky to pull this trick out on 64 Bit......Can anyone guide me please?

    thanks

    Windows 7 Manager by Yamicsoft. Using it on x64, no shortcut arrows.

    free version is "the ultimate windows tweaker"

    cannot post links yet, just google it

    Neither source of RemoveShortcutArrow.zip has the file any more. Can someone up it somewhere like Rapidshare, please?
