Icon Shortcut Arrow Removal

March 10, 2003 1:29:39 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I know that this sounds stupid, but I have been trying to find the switch to turn off the little shortcut arrow on my desktop icons. I had it set before but it reset when I changed my icons. I cannot find the setting anywhere!? HEP

If you are using IconPackager then click on it to bring up the main dialogue...click on th e"settings" tab/icon and "UNCHECK" the "Display shortcut" overlays box.

Hope that works for ya!
