Title: Lose the 'Shortcut Arrows' in Vista
Post by: MoHux on May 14, 2008, 19:06:59
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 (http://www.frameworkx.com/download.aspx?a=83&m=84)

Hope you find it usefull.

Mo

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

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). :)

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.

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  ;D

really good programme.  :thumb:
