Windows 2000 - Remove the arrow from shortcuts

November 27, 2013
Updated: December 6, 2021
Quick overview:

Wenn sie Programme installieren, legen diese ihre Verknüpfungen auf dem Desktop an. Leider erscheint in der linken unteren Hälfte des Symbols ein Verknüpfungspfeil. Wenn dieser sie stört, habe ich die Lösung hier:

1. Klicken sie auf Start/Ausführen und tippen in die Befehlszeile regedit ein. Wenn sie mit Enter bestätigen erscheint das Programm, mit dem sie die Registrierdatenbank von Windows 2000 betrachten können. Es gleicht dem Windows Explorer.

2. Navigieren sie jetzt per Doppelklick nacheinander auf HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LNKFILE und sie sehen im rechten Teilfenster den Wert IsShortCut. Markieren sie ihn und drücken sie auf Entfernen, um ihn zu löschen.

Close Regedit and restart your PC. When Windows has loaded, the linking arrows will have disappeared.

NOTE FOR NEW PUBLICATION: This article was produced by Sandro Villinger and comes from the Windows Tweaks archive, which has been built up since the late 1990s.

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in 2001, his helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write for international publications such as PC-Praxis, Computerbild, PCWorld in the USA, IMTEST.de and Hifi.de. Sandro's main job is as Global Product Marketing Lead and Consultant for various global tech companies, including Microsoft, AVG, Avast, Nero, TeamViewer, Swiss IT Security Group and now currently in the fintech sector for Gendigital. But he can't get rid of his passion and shares his tweaks here again. Privately, he enjoys traveling the world and loves Asia, especially Japan, Singapore and Korea, but also natural places like Iceland and the Nordics. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
