Remove Easily Windows Shortcut Arrow Or Replace It With A Custom Image

Whenever you create a shortcut of a file, folder or program, Windows puts a minuscule arrow overlay on the icon. This arrow is fairly useful for differentiating between an original item and a shortcut, but at the same time, it can also hurt the overall aesthetics of the desktop for customization freaks. Many Windows tweaking apps support removing this arrow as an option but if that’s the only thing you want to do and don’t want to install a whole tweaking app for it, Windows Shorcut Arrow Editor from WinAero can come handy. A registry hack can also get rid of this overlay for you, but this tiny portable application makes the process of removing it tenfold easier, and lets you easily replace it with a custom overlay of your choice as well!

it’s a really nice tool to quickly tweak the arrow overlay of shortcut icons with a single click. The application works on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista, 7 and 8.
