Very odd icon overlay problem

I've just restarted my PC after doing some changes - which included
using TWEAKUI to try and get rid of the annoting shortcut arrows on
the desktop and now find that over every destop icon there is another
one which looks like a hard disk icon with a ring above it. How can I
get rid of them?

Yes I know I should have known better than to use the TWEAKUI for XP
!!

TIA


cheers,
Len

Hi Len,

You might try using this program called "Frameworkx". It may help replace those messed up shortcut overlays from "TweakUI XP" with one that works right.

Frameworkx

Hope it helps you,
Shawn

RE: Very odd icon overlay problem

The Tweak Vista site has the answer. You may have to search. I did it awhile
ago (removed all the shortcut arrows)
