TweakUI and shortcuts
I have W98SE and have installed tweakui one of the things I use it for is to get rid of the little arrows on shortcuts on the desktop. . .Now for some unknown reason the shortcuts have got the arrows back, even though in tweakui they are set as none. . .Has anyone come across this, if so, how to get it back? Is it just a case of reinstalling tweakui?. .Not earth shattering I know but I want it the way I want it and not Bill's way! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" />. . . . <small>[ 15 March 2002, 20:02: Message edited by: spannersatcx ]</small>

Isn't this a great place! I had thundering hooves and thought it was just me - I had shortcut arrows re-appear and thought it was just me!. .. .Don't know about the above tip, but this worked for me - TweakUI was powerless for me too.. . <a href="http://www.windows-help.net/windows98/tune-15.shtml" target="_blank">Arrows gone</a>. .. .PS I think I recently 'upgraded' TweakUI - did you?. . . . <small>[ 15 March 2002, 18:50: Message edited by: BOAC ]</small>

BOAC tried that and have reinstalled and updated tweakui, repaired icons and still no good, looks like I'm going to have to live with it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="mad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" />

The whole thing is caused by a microsoft security update, latest one march 2002, that'll teach me to try and stay safe, found the files as stated earlier the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ lnkfile . . I thought was ink, with a capital I where in fact it is Lnk with a lower case l (for lima).. .Deletes said reg entries and now no more arrows, wonderful.
