How Win10 Eliminates Arrows for Desktop Shortcut Icons

  
Creating a shortcut on the Win7 desktop will reveal an arrow in the upper left corner of the icon. This gives the impression that it is inferior or not authentic, so I can't wait to delete the arrow. The same is true for the Win10 preview. In fact, the arrow on the icon can be deleted. How to operate?

Follow me to share how to clear the small arrow on these shortcut icons:
Create a new txt text file, then copy the following command to it:
reg add “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\ Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Shell Icons” /v 29 /d “%systemroot%\\system32\\imageres.dll,197″ /t reg_sz /f
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
attrib -s -r -h “%userprofile%\\AppData\\Local\\iconcache.db”
del “%userprofile%\\AppData\\Local\\iconcache.db” /f /q
start explorer
After pause
, save the text document to a batch file with the suffix extension bat, such as Clear arrow.bat. When you rename the modified extension, a warning window will pop up, click “yes<quo;
Then right click on the Clear arrow.bat batch file and select “Run as administrator>, a command prompt window will pop up, showing the command running process. Figure:

Then you will find that after the flash, the arrow on the shortcut icon on the desktop has disappeared. Figure:

If you want to restore the arrows on these shortcut icons in the future, just follow the above method to make the following command into a bat batch file to run as an administrator.
reg delete “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Shell Icons” /v 29 /f
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
attrib -s -r -h “ %userprofile%\\AppData\\Local\\iconcache.db”
del “%userprofile%\\AppData\\Local\\iconcache.db” /f /q
start explorer
pause
The arrow looked It’s coming, but if someone likes it, it’s a good idea. Win10 preview version of the desktop originally only one icon of the recycle bin, other icons have to be added by themselves, so the chance of appearing arrows is greater, if you do not like the arrow, you can rely on the method provided in this article, run the command to delete the arrow.
