| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Shortcut Arrow Hi Maslib, and welcome to Vista Forums. That method was for XP and is not recommended for Vista. If you delete the registry entry IsShortCut, then the Favorite Links in Windows Explorer disappear. Another problem occurs with the Media Center and Games Explorer, their shortcuts may be displayed, but they don't work when you click on them. The method used in the tutorial program replaces the shortcut arrow file responsible with a transparent one instead. This way the above still works with no or changed shortcut arrows. Shawn |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Shortcut Arrow Hello Hsrstud, and welcome to Vista Forums. You might double check to make sure that you have downloaded and installed the 64 bit version and not the 32 bit one by mistake. Do you have UAC turned on? If not, turn it on and see if it will run properly afterwards. User Account Control (UAC) Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Vista Home Premium 64bit | Re: Shortcut Arrow Fortunately, when I clicked on the Continue button on the error window, the arrows changed. I'm not sure why there was an error message, but it seems to have worked. |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Shortcut Arrow Um, I'm not sure what may have caused you to get that error. You might report it to Frameworkx to see if it something that they may need to update the program for, and to see what they say about it. |

| Ultimate x64 SP1 | Re: Shortcut Arrow Hi guys, that arrow was driving me nuts. I didn't really like the one used by Vista Shortcut Manager either...a bit flamboyant for me. LOL here are 2 icon files to use with Vista Shortcut Manager (both taken form the shell32.dll)...right-click and save as: default (sized down by yours truly): "shell32 264_SB-sized.ico" black/white one: "shell32 030_shortcutArrow.ico" EDIT: what kinda icon sizes you guys using? i'm using 32x32 on my 22" wide screen.
