How Win10 Eliminates Arrows for Desktop Shortcut Icons

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

pause
