Use code to get rid of win 7 system shortcut arrow

Shortcuts usually have a small arrow, and sometimes the carefully selected icon is destroyed by this small arrow, so if you want to remove the small arrow, you need to use some methods, such as modifying the registry or using code. Let's explain here first, first talk about the wrong way:

Error Method 1:

Modify the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\explorer\\Shell Icons]

"29"="C:\\\\Windows\\\\System32\\\\shell32.dll,50"

Overwrite the small arrow with the system's default transparent icon.

This method works at the time, but the next day you will find that all shortcuts on the desktop have a small black block.

As for the optimization master, since I have always liked manual optimization, I have not I haven't commented on this software!

Error Method 2:

By deleting the registry

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\lnkfile

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\piffile

removes the arrow from the shortcut.

Although this method can remove small arrows, there are sequelae: you can't use the super task bar, the start menu game can't open, right click "computer", management can't open...

The correct way is:

Find a transparent ico icon, save it to the C:\\windows folder, the file name is Empty.ico

Create a new text document, paste the following content, save as For the extension reg registry file, double-click import, log out and log in again (Vista is also applicable)

This method is simple, effective, no toxic side effects, no rebound after removal...< Br>
