Remove shortcut arrows on Windows 8.1

[RossD]

Hello all,

I'm looking to remove the shortcut arrows from shortcuts on the desktop of my laptop.

I found an article on howtogeek and used regedit to make a new value and it worked for a while.

Occasionally however the shortcuts have a black box where the shortcut arrows would normally be. I have restarting the laptop, logging off and back on again and neither of them work.

Can someone please help me do this so that the arrows are gone and don't mess up again.

Any help is appreciated.

I've used it for 20 years & have used it free ever since.

It works good.

Other programs will work good too.
I run mine in compatability mode.
it still works.
