Lose the 'Shortcut Arrows' in Vista

[MoHux]

There must be others like me, who dislike the arrows on the desktop shortcut icons!

I found this small, simple to use download, today, and my desktop has improved immediately.

Download the 'Vista Shortcut Manager'

Make sure you download the correct version, i.e. x86 for 32bit : 64 for 64bit.

Get it here

Hope you find it usefull.

Great find, Mo. I must confess I've always used TweakUI to do that job until now.

[Sebby]

Reading this got me wondering whether there is a TweakUI for Vista, and apparently there isn't one. I wonder if MS will release one (probably not).

[Rik]

If they were going to do it, you;d have thought they would have by now, Sebby. A great shame, imo, I've always regarded it as an indispensable tool.

[Lance]

I agree, it was always a useful tool. To be honest, though, I can't say that I've missed it on vista.

Tuneup 2008 is a good piece of kit if anyones interested. it tweaks, modifies, cleans reg, defrags reg, frees up space, solves problems and will also give your comp a mini defrag if it needs to.

sound too good to be true doesn't it 

really good programme.

But does it make the tea?? 

[Lance]

  I drink coffee, not tea!

[Rik]

Correction: Does it make the beverages?  

[TheMonkey]

you know what, i was going to say the only thing it doesn't do is make you a cuppa.

I should have know that you guys were expecting it. 

[Rik]

We like to get in first mate.

Ah, TweakVI, a cunning name.

Thanks.
