Thank you for this great tutorial. I was able to disable the shortcut arrows without using the program.

Hello,

I've been looking for a solution for awhile now (okay, a week..), but unlike the others - this one actually worked like charm. I used to second option, for the one first one didn't work when I tried it a few days back.

I signed up to drop a note of thanks. Those little arrows bothered me like none other, especially for my Adobe CS3 programs, which have nice little icons.

I'll be sure to visit this forum again if any other problems occur.

Thanks again!

FxVisor64 worked for me.

Fxvisor32 did not work.

**Brink** · 07-26-2009

Hello Kagi, and welcome to Vista Forums.

That's strange since the download and links for FxVisor32 supports both 32-bit and 64-bit Vista. Do you also have a website link for FxVisor64 instead of a direct download link?

Shawn,

The developer's website, Frameworkx.com, is not working. I think the owners are now working for Citrix.

I haven't found FxVisor64 on the major download sites. Google found a website to download from.

**Brink** · 07-27-2009

Ok, thank you Kagi.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Hello Headshot,

If you are just wanting to remove or restore the shortcut arrow, then you can do METHOD ONE instead.

If not, then did you do step 2 and run it as an administrator?
