Getting rid of the annoying shortcut indicators on icons
Monday, August 26, 2002 by Chris | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hey guys, I've done this before (may have used some utility to accomplish this, but I don't recall) how does one go about telling the OS NOT to display the little shortcut arrow on icons that represent shortcuts. (I'm running Win2K BTW) Wasn't there some tweak program or something? Can Icon Packager do this?
Thx

I used to use TweakUI to do this. That may be what you were thinking of.

Ahh, I can't find that under Settings, pehaps that's XP thing. TweakUI sounds familiar. I bet it was that.
Thx guys,

I'm on Win2k, and it's there on my machine. Did you doubleclick Iconpackager.exe and click on the third icon on the left?

Here's a link, Chris. TweakUI is part of Microsoft's PowerToys for XP. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp
