Vista desktop

[#1]

Yes, I know it say's so in Vista but, is it so that the desktop icon shortcut arrows REALLY can't be removed? some newly added icon's appear without it, although these are usually system icons "control panel, recycle bin, my computer, Intellipoint" etc.

Further to my own post. I recall in earlier versions of Windows that an ad-on tools programme -Tweak UI and XP UI had options to do just this removal of the arrow overlays.
I bet somebody out there has figured out how it's done in Vista!!

That chap did, presumably

It does indeed work, thank you. But not entirely as advertised, at the last moment you are asked to logoff now with a yes/no option in the final window. Pressing yes produces an error report (or did on mine) ignore this and opt for no then logoff manually. On restart, the arrows have gone. @You also have the option to change them from the huge standard arrows to a rather sexy smaller blue arrow if thats your fancy.
Thanks again.
