We all have pet peeves. Some are rational, others may appear irrational to others. I am not sure where this registry trick falls into, but shortcut arrows on the desktop drive me crazy. There is just something about making an otherwise nice desktop icon busier with those arrow overlays.
This easy step by step guide shows you how to get rid of them!
What arrows?
In case you do not know what I am referring to let me explain. Since the days of Windows 95 whenever you placed a shortcut on the desktop for app or document, an arrow is placed on the lower corner of the icon. I get why it is there, at least for documents (you do not want to delete the original), but I think it makes less sense for apps. We just do not install apps to the desktop.
How to remove shortcut arrows in Windows 10
1. Open up regedit
(1) Press win+R and type regedit and press enter
2. Answer yes
When prompted Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your PC? Choose Yes
3. Navigate
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
4. Create Key
Right click on \Explorer and using the dialog menu choose New > Key and name it Shell Icons. Press Enter.
5. Create String Value
In the right pane of Shell Icons, right click on an empty area, and click/tap on New and String Value. Name it 29.
6. Modify String Value
Double click/tap on the 29 String Value to modify it. You should see a blank box called Value data.
7. Define String Value
In the Value data box enter (or copy and paste): %windir%\System32\shell32.dll,-50 and hit OK when done.
8. Restart
You can now either reboot the computer or log off and on back again to complete the changes.
Afterwards, you should have a nice, clean desktop with no arrow shortcuts.

People changes but God remain constant with his promises. I faced fierce turbulent situation in my relationship in the past few months ago, from having issues with my wife and all of that.
