So I removed the shortcut arrow by installing the optimization tool similar to Windows Optimizer, and on the latest windows8, We can use a simple technique to achieve the goal.

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerShell Icons" /v 29 /d
"%systemroot%system32imageres.dll,197" /t reg_sz /f
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
attrib - s -r -h "%userprofile%AppDataLocaliconcache.db"
del "%userprofile%AppDataLocaliconcache.db" /f /q
start explorer
