Today I will tell you how you can remove shortcut sign from your desktop icon.When you use shortcuts on desktop for your often used files or movies it is unattractive to see a small Shortcut arrow at the bottom corner of the Shortcut icon.







Here's how you can take away those shortcut arrows from your desktop icons in Windows XP.



1. Start regedit i.e.; Start->Run->regedit


2. Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile

If you find hard in reaching this file location, simply Press Ctrl+F to open find window. Enter "IsShortcut" and click find. Now Press f3 till you get the file Inkfile located at Hkey_Classes_Root\Inkfile


3. Erase the IsShortcut registry value.



You possibly will need to restart Windows XP.
