Is there a 'tweak' package to help you configure Vista?  I'd love to get rid of those annoying little arrow overlays on my desktop shortcuts.

Ouch!  $40 seems a bit steep for a utility that was free with XP.

Doesn't it.  :cry: I'm curious to know why MS haven't done one for Vista.

This should do just what you want, Gill.  It worked on my Vista laptop.  :)

Glad there's someone else who doesn't like shortcut arrows.  I thought it was just me!   ;)
