| | Vista: Desktop Icon Arrows Ever since Windows 95, I have hated the arrows on desktop shortcuts. When PowerTools was developed and released, I had found a way to get rid of those arrows. Since it worked in Win98, Win98SE and Windows 2000, I am hoping it will work with Vista Business 32, hence my writing the group now to ask first before I do something destructive to the OS by installing a Windows 95 PowerTool. Has anyone received the secret of ridding one's desktop of those AWFUL ARROWS that cover one corner of one's desktop icons? Please let me know. |

Please let me know. you? Weird. Anyway they exist under my XP boot but I like a super clean display under Vista and have no icons on the desktop. None. Still if an arrow bothers you... well you have some problems. -- |
