Disable, Remove or Change the shortcut icon arrow

I think Windows 7 looks great but one thing I don’t like is the ugly big arrows on every shortcut on your desktop. We need to download the overlay manager from the Take Control of Windows 7 directory.

Okay, you should have grabbed the Vista Shortcut Overlay Manager (this is actually developed for Windows Vista but it works for Windows 7 as well) by now.

• Double click the downloaded file and follow the installation steps to install the software.
• Double click the desktop icon to open Overlay Manager

You can select in the program window the option for deleting the shortcut arrows, changing the shortcut arrows into an arrow, or create a custom shortcut arrow or no arrow at all. I’ve selected no arrow at all and I also check marked the option to remove the “- Shortcut” extension when new shortcuts are created.

Now you need to reboot and your shortcut arrows will be deleted or changed.
