Delete desktop shortcut icon arrow under Windows 7

A lot of friends who are familiar with various operating systems
know that the shortcut icon mechanism under Win7 system is completely different from the XP era. Therefore, many users feel entangled. Some optimization softwares that are very popular in the XP era have encountered many problems on Windows 7. How should I correctly delete the small arrow icon on the shortcut? Here I have summarized some ways to delete the small arrow of the win7 desktop icon.

First, delete the win7 desktop icon small arrow error method:

Error method 1:

by deleting the registry

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\lnkfile

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\piffile

IsShortcut removes the shortcut arrow.

This method can remove small arrows, but 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 …

Error Method 2:

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 the shortcuts on the desktop have a small black block.

Second, delete the win7 desktop icon small arrow correct method:

First, you must first create or find a transparent ico icon, save to the C:\\Windows folder, the file name is Empty .ico.

Create a new text document, paste the following content, save it as the registry file with the extension reg, double-click import, log out and log in again (Vista is also applicable). This method is simple in operation, quick in effect, free from any toxic side effects, and does not bounce after removal …… (Note: keep the quotation marks in English below)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Shell Icons]

“29″=”C:\\\\Windows\\\\Empty.ico,0″

If you want Transparent icon and this reg file, leave a message to me.
