How can I remove shortcut arrow sign of my desktop shortcut?

I know some software (TuneUp Utilities) can remove desktop shortcuts arrow sign. But, is it possible to remove the sign of the arrow from shortcuts on the desktop settings in Windows? Please, let me know. So, how can I remove arrow shortcut in Windows 8 sign? I don't want to use third party software to do.

OS: Windows 8 Pro with WMC

Short answer: no, there is no setting in the front-end interface for this.  There is no switch.

But...

You can do this by editing the registry yourself.  I recommend doing a first system restore point, so you can easily cancel your changes if something is wrong. 30 seconds spent doing a quick control point can save hours and days of disaster later.  To create a restore point, go to your start page and type "create restore point" and select the appropriate option in the settings search results.

Once you have made your point of control, you can use these instructions to modify the registry:

Note: This is not supported. Microsoft technical support will not help you if there are problems with the registry change.  That's why you should make a checkpoint first.

    Hello

    The only function of cleaning disc in Windows is a tool under properties of a hard disk. So, unless you right click on your hard drive, you have a pop up of malware piece. To get rid of it, I recommend two programs (both freeware). Download, install and run them, and then to quarantine and remove all infections they find:

    Malwarebytes' anti-malware: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html.

    SuperAntiSpyware http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html.

    Then run your antivirus software and the quarantine and remove all the infections it finds. You have an antivirus software? I use and recommend Avast: http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html .

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

    I don't know what I did a couple of months, but all of a sudden all the icons on my desktop has become highlighted.

    Hello

    1. what operating system is installed on the computer?

    2 are you able to open the desktop icons?

    Method 1: I would say allowing you to run fix the link and check if it helps.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/system_maintenance_for_windows/en-us

    Method 2: try to rebuild the icon cache and see if that fixes the problem.

    a. open the Start Menu and type cmd in the search box and press on enter.

    b. in the command prompt, type each command line below one at a time then press ENTER after each single line.

    CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local

    DEL /a IconCache.db

    OUTPUT

    c. log off and log on, or restart the computer to recreate the icon cache.

    NOTE: This helps rebuild and recreate a new file IconCache.db.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • How can I remove application Mega backup that I installed when I thought I was the update for adobe flash download. I've got El Capitan.

    How can I remove app Mega backup of my desktop computer. He got installed when I thought I was downloading an update for adobe flash.  I closed the application them tp mpved ot trash, but he would not accept it stating still open app.

    "MegaBackup" is an application of unworthy of trust-storage cloud or perhaps real malware. I have not tried to make this distinction. To remove it, please start back up all the data (not with the MegaBackup himself, of course). Then take the steps below.

    1 Select the elements of the connection tab in the users pane and groups of system preferences. Remove all elements with a name starting in 'MegaBackup '.

    2 log off or restart the computer.

    3. slide the MegaBackup application in the Applications to the trash and empty folder.

    Note that you cannot delete any application trying to drag its icon from the LaunchPad or the Dock. You must open the Applications folder in the Finder.

    You may have installed ad-injection with MegaBackup malware. If you don't see unaccustomed pop-up in a web browser, ask for additional instructions.
