To open the system's run dialog box, you can press the "Win R" shortcut key on the keyboard. Then enter the "regedit" command in the run dialog box and click OK to open the system registry editor.
After opening the Registry Editor, click Computer, and then click the Find button in the Edit menu. In the search dialog box that appears, the search target is "lnkfile" (usually a program shortcut link file). Select View items to find.
After finding the lnkfile, find the string value IsShortcut on the right side, then right-click on this item and delete the IsShortcut string item here
Then we follow the above method and search for "piffile" [DOS program shortcut management file] again
After finding the piffile, find the string value IsShortcut on the right, then right-click on this item to delete the IsShortcut string item here
After modifying the registry, now we click on the start menu, and then log off the computer or restart the computer,
The shortcut arrow of the desktop icon is no longer there
The small arrows of shortcuts look very annoying. It can be removed using software such as WINDOWS Optimization Master, but too many tools will more or less affect system performance. I found three ways: 1. Modify in the registry. Open the registry editor, find the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile key, delete the IsShortcut value, and restart the computer. 2. Use third-party software. There are free software that can help remove shortcut arrows, such as Ultimate Windows Tweaker. 3. Create a custom icon. You can use any icon you like to replace the quick
First, program preservation method. Open IE and reduce the browser window to a suitable size. Click the "Start" menu, select it in "Programs" and drag the application icon to any blank space in the browser while holding down the left mouse button. If you want to keep the application icon in the "Start" menu, you can hold down the "Ctrl" key while dragging, and then release the left mouse button. At this time, the system will pop up a dialog box asking whether to open the application or save it to disk. Select Save to disk option, click "OK", then the system will pop up a save window, we select the save path as the desktop, and then click "OK".
Second, the registry modification method. Open the Registry Editor, find the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LNKFILE" item, delete the string value named "isshortcut" in the right form, refresh the desktop, is the small arrow missing? The way to remove the words "shortcut" is simpler, as long as we rename the shortcut.
Third, icon correction method. Right-click on the desktop and select "Properties" in the pop-up dialog box. In the "Display Properties" dialog box that appears, select the "Appearance" tab, then select the "Icon" item in the "Project" drop-down menu, and change the number in the "Size" column to "30". Press the "Apply" button and then click "OK."
I have tried all the above methods one by one, but they don't work at least in XP. The author carefully verified that the first method may be that the author accidentally discovered this "wonder" and was too excited, but there is no verification. Using this method can generate an "icon" without a small arrow on the desktop, but it is not a shortcut. , but uses IE to "copy" the file pointed to by the shortcut in the start menu to the desktop. Method 2 and Method 3 have no effect when executed alone; Method 3 only makes the desktop icons smaller, but the arrows are not removed.
So how can you effectively remove the shortcut arrow without using tools? In fact, there is no need to look for a way anymore. Just combine method 2 and method 3 and you’re good to go!
I think it looks better without icons! Many systems do not have arrows, so they are used the same way,
If you want to change it, open "Notepad" and edit the following content (just copy it)

"IsShortcut"="＂"
Save the file name: recovery shortcut arrow.reg
Double-click to run this file and import it into the registry (if that doesn’t work, try the manual method below)

(1)Open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile subkey.

(3)Open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\piffile subkey.
