  Although it is possible to remove the arrow, my recommendation is that
  you are not doing this. The arrows are an important
  function - provide quick visual identification of a shortcut. If you
  remove the arrows, you run the risk of substantial that sooner or later
  you delete something you want to keep, thinking that you were
  just remove a shortcut. I let the arrows that they are.

  Ken Blake (MS-MVP)

  According to me, there are situations that are valid for this.  I would like to remove the arrow from shortcuts on the desktop that I keep to certain folders.  I have file extensions on and do not keep the installers on the desktop, so I don't see the harm to remove the arrow of my shortcut 'Documents '.  I never think of Documents is actually stored on the desktop.  And if something, it only would make me more hesitant to delete a shortcut, no more likely to remove a real folder.  I plead to remove the arrow system, but it would be useful for specific desktop icons.  It's obviously the case, because Microsoft has decided to remove the arrow for "user files" folder is added through the control panel "Desktop Icon Settings".

• Icon on the desktop without permission changes - new

  This is a thread to an old problem that has re-curred: see also http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/desktop-program-icon-changes-without-authority/88ceb811-edfd-42a0-86ae-f024ebb84c92

  I am connected to the re-currency it a few days ago, with some info on the link who has worked the last time and a question.  No one has yet responded, and on the prospect that old nets are more current on your side, I raised it a new.

  Specifically, it is the image that I see with the white windows icon

  

  The desktop icon is the element "in white" Windows.  Select it, properties/change icon, I got trapped change Panel adjacent to the empty desktop icon.  The icon displayed by the control panel change is correct.  The path in the target box is correct, and in the Explorer, the file icon is also correct.  Using the process of change icon for the desktop icon, I can change the icon of the Virgin and the other in the list, and that works.  Having done that, change this return returns to the windows item.  Program re - starts, hot and cold, re-boots don't change this.  When the program is opened, the correct icon appears in the system at the bottom of the screen bar.

  I have the previous file of fixit winfolder stored on my machine (mentioned in the last thread) and applied.  It found no errors.  Then I tried later that displays the link in the old thread (which the question mentioned was subject), saved the file and then run.  He also found no error.

  So, how can I fix this so the correct icon appears on the desktop?

• Windows 7 - How can I get rid of an "All Control Panel items" icon on the desktop?

  Only, I've migrated to Vista Ultimate x 64 to Windows 7 Professional x 64.  I used Laplink to move all my users, programs, and settings.  Everything is great, except now there is an icon on the desktop for all my users that I can't get rid of - it connects to the control panel and is called "All Control Panel items" - it cannot be deleted or moved to the Recycle Bin. Make a right click on it brings up a menu with 'open' and 'create a shortcut' by dragging it to the trash does not delete it.

  If I am right cick on the desktop and add Control Panel to the items displayed on the desktop, a second control Panel icon appears with the same picture, but the text is just 'control panel '.

  I don't know there is a registry key that I have to remove or adjust but after a lot of research can't find anything.

  Open the Publisher of the registry (Regedit.exe) and navigate to:

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace]

  Backup the key by exporting to a REG file.

  Expand the branch above and delete the following subkey:

  {21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
  (The above is the GUID for "All Control Panel items" Namespace)
