Vista - Shortcut Arrow

hay,

i have been trying to download this version 2, and each i do it gives me the version 1.3!!! very annoying, and if i click on the 64 bit links the web page cannot be displayed! why is this. all my other web pages work. but when i try anything to do with frameworkx.com its like its not there. is it broken?

does anyone have a copy of version 2 they could send me?

or an alternative that deosnt involve the reg, because im pretty sure ial break it if i do that.

Hello Alphecca,

I just tested the download version from the Softpedia Mirror (US) MSI link, and it is the 2.0 version.

Vista Shortcut Overlay Remover Download - Softpedia

If you just wanted to removed the shortcut arrows, then the .reg file downloads will do it for you automatically following the steps.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

i have just downloaded this and when implimenting recieved this error.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

i am running x64 vista home premium, i dont know if thats a problem.

any ideas?

if i press continue, and then log off and on or close and open explorer, the arrows remain

help

thanks

Alphecca,

It appears that the program will not run on your system. Is it a not US version of Vista?

You can use METHOD TWO instead to remove the shortcut arrows. I had made .reg files to download and merge to make it simple and not have to play in the registry tp do it.

hi again,

the version is purchesed in the US, as is the laptop.

never mind i tryed to reg edit as you sugested. worked like a pro.

thanks a lot!

also on a side note, do u know of a free decent video converter, .mov files to .mpeg or .wmv?

one thats can deliver high quality without a watermark.

thanks so much!

You're welcome Alphecca. I'm happy to hear that you got it sorted.

Sorry, but I do not know of any video converter though.

Hi all I just enrolled today. I have read this fine tutorial, and have had nothing but problems. When I was running 32bit I had no problems with the FXVisor. I am sure I have version 2.0 which works with 64bit. I am now running 64bit Ultima. I ran the program in my user acount and I get a unhandled exception error. I continue, log off and still the arrows. AHHHHHH!!!

During my Google travels, it was saying you need to run the program as an Administrator. Well, I couldn't find out how to enable that account. Then Google again brought me here and I found the tutorial on how to enable it in CMD line. Tried that and still same error. I'd post it but it is long and is basically the same as others have posted.

What is a guy to do? I know you have a second option here, but as you can see I'm anal about shortcut arrows, so the same applies trying to figure this out. I was thinking it is a .net framework issue. I do not have .net 1.1 installed is this a problem?

Thanks for the help.
Beebe

Hello Beebe, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Yes, the second option will work just fine to remove the shortcut arrows.

However, if you would like to see if we can get the first option working for you, then check the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 option in Windows Features to see if the Frameworx program may run for you afterwards. If not, then just uncheck the option and uninstall the Frameworx program to be back to where you were before.

Shawn

Thank you Shawn. I will try it when I get home from work. These forums are incredible.

Dave

Ok Dave. Please let us know how it turned out for you.
