    Changing shortcut icon

    I would like to change the shortcut icon, you know, that small icon showing
    an arrow and displayed on the desktop above each program shortcut icon. I
    like to have it smaller. XP had it about 1/4 of the surface.

    Hi Francois,

    FxVisor - Vista Shortcut Overlay Remover

    Windows Vista Shortcut Overlay Remover, aka FxVisor, allows you to either way to remove the shortcut overlay arrow or to even customize it in Windows Vista, so we have written the Vista Shortcut Overlay Remover utility to enable you to do just that.
