Win8 system desktop icon shortcut small arrow clear method

From my use of XP, I really do not like the small arrow of the desktop shortcut, whether it is later vista or windows7. So I am similar to the optimization by installing windows optimization master The tool removes the shortcut arrow, and on the latest windows 8, we can use a simple trick to achieve the goal.

Right-click on the desktop to create a new text file, copy the following code into it, save it as win8.bat (file type selects all files), right click "run as administrator", restart the computer. The shortcut arrow disappears.

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

If you need to restore the small arrow, you can use the same method, the code uses the following.

reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerShell Icons" /v 29 /f

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe

attrib -s -r -h "%userprofile% AppDataLocaliconcache.db"

del "%userprofile%AppDataLocaliconcache.db" /f /q

start explorer
