| Guest | Re: "Set associations" ?????????????? Did you use a registry tweak or 3rd party tweaker to remove the shortcut arrow overlays on dektop icons? If the 'IsShortcut' key in the registry is deleted, it also affects other shortcuts such as those in Games Explorer and favorite Links, which is why you get the 'association' error message. -- Jane, not plain  64 bit enabled :-)Batteries not included.
