System Tweaks for U !

 
System Tweaks for U !
All Windows shortcuts have an arrow to the left bottom of the icons. Now if you want to have a clean desktop with arrow-free icons do the following:
  1. Type "regedit" in the run command box (the same box you use to access dataserver)
  2. Then navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIcons in the explorer pane. Now create a new string value by right clicking on the registry pane and name it 29. Then press enter.
  3. Double click the newly created string value and set its value to "C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll,52". Then press enter.
  4. Close the registry editor and restart your computer to see the difference.
