58158 2002-06-29 00:47:00 I am really annoyed seeing those little arrows on the shortcuts on desktop...and so i tried removing it. Well i searched and found the following on some websites which tell to do the following:

Here's how you can remove those shortcut arrows from your desktop icons in Windows XP.
Start regedit.
Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTlnkfile
Delete the IsShortcut registry value.
You may need to restart Windows XP.

I cant find the "Inkfile" Key under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

I have searched the registry for the key/data/value for that string but i cant find it. X-(
I have WinXP Prof. Can someone help me here or show me some other way to do it. Thankx :)

58160 2002-06-29 00:51:00 Hi Ritzz

Download the POWERTOYS for Windows Xp software and install the TWEAKUI for WINXP. I think it has been on lots of PC World cover cds. But is also available from Microsoft at the following:

www.microsoft.com

Try the TWEAKUI.EXE

Cheers, Babe.
