  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".

• Firefox shortcut icon error after upgrading to 7.0

  I have upgrade my Firefox 7.0, but the shortcut icon is changed not like it used to be, but it resembled an icon of the installer. When I clicked it, it opens Firefox browser very well without any errors. Why is it happening and how to fix?

  Thanks a lot before.

  Try resetting the Windows icon cache.

  • Open the task (Ctrl + Shift + ESC) Manager
  • In the processes tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select end process.
  • Open the file picker via ' file > new task (run) "and click on the Browse button.
  • Type or paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local in the file name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
  • Select the file IconCache.db and use Delete on the shortcut menu to delete the file.
  • After that the IconCache.db has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process through "file > new task" for the job and work the taskbar to return.
  • It is possible that the IconCache.db file is a hidden file, and in this case you must enable the display of hidden files. You can verify that you can see the file before doing above mentioned as follows.

• How can I delete a shortcut icon

  My laptop screen is too small for the size of the shortcut icons.  I have a few icons that I no longer use and useful to remove them.  I don't know if removing them, I can access the information.  For example, I want to keep my security information, I just the icon always on my screen - or do I?

  A shortcut is just a pointer to the program or file in question - this is not the program or the file itself.  You can safely remove them without damaging what they are 'in view '. Just be sure that you always know how to view the file or the program later if you need it and it's certainly a shortcut.

  In addition, if you right-click on an empty area of your desktop, and select view, then you can change the size of your icons. This may mean that you don't need to remove your shortcuts.

• My recycle bin icon disappeared, how do I get it (currently using a 'shortcut' icon)

  The displayed icons on the desktop (who are always there when you get a new computer) were all there at the time.  some time later, I realized that (the small wastebasket) recycling bin icon disappeared - I don't know why.  I was able to get back a "shortcut" on my desktop icon, but I couldn't find the original icon.  I have the shortcut icon has now the small arrow in the lower left corner, so I know that's not the original icon.  It works fine, but I was really puzzled as to why the original disappeared?  I had a lot of computers over the years and I never had this problem before?

• Shortcut icons and desktop Windows 7 file to change default

  The shortcut icons for the Office 2010 applications on my desktop and icons for office and acrobat files have re-established a kind of default icon.

  Try to recreate the icon cache and restarting didn't work.

  Attempt to right click and reset the program that should open with the files does not change the icons back to normal

  Can someone tell me please:

  (2) where should I copy this set of icons to

  (3) how to ensure that Windows 7 is directed to the exact location of these icons AND use them

• "Globe / icon" mysteriously takes the place of internet shortcut icons.

  I guess this question is an ongoing thing with other users of IE 8.  Whenever I have create a shortcut on my desktop from a Web site, either more personal websites shortcut icon or I get that I guess being an icon by default, for example a white dog-eared page with an 'E' blue in the Center.  Which should, however, after a short time or even a day or two, the icon changes in this 'blue and green globe' or an icon of the "Earth-like" of the same color or nature.

  In terms laymans, how can it be corrected, get rid of the blue and green globe icon, without having to personally go to change the files in the operating system of my computer.  I'm not and I guess a great many other users, are not a computer expert or a technician and we have enough trouble with this problem of "icon" without adding to our grief by changing orders that we do not know how to correct if something goes wrong.  Microsoft offers a download or maybe a fix for the problem of this icon of switching for those of us who are not so clever programming or to modify these commands?

  Loving Windows 7, but do not love shortcut icons that have a spirit that is clean!

  This problem occurs only on internet icons, although when you click it, you get the web page you wanted the shortcut to bring up, it's just that 'gawd awful' blue and green globe of the Earth that is the issue.

  In the meantime, I found a solution much simpler which does not require a lot of time and patience.  For those who still have the same problem that I once had, read on...

  • Right-click on the offending icon (globe blue and green, etc.)
  • When the window opens click on "Properties".
  • Left click on "change icon".
  • In the upper right corner of the left window click 'Browse '.
  • Scroll down until you see "url.dll.
  • Left click twice on "url.dll," then...
  • Left click on 'Apply' and then left click on 'OK' in the next or the next window and you should have all familiar white dog-eared page with the 'E' blue in the Center where the times "awful gawd" globe once.  I took care of all my blue and geen 'globe icons' last night (27/07/10) and they have yet to return.  Simple, clean and... effective now.

  Thanks for the timely response if I received on this post, it is appreciated. : o).

• When I right click on the shortcut icon, my screen begins to blink and I have to do a Ctl/Alt/Delete to return to display system and monitor to normal.

  * Original title: Steve M.

  I have My Documents on my Windows 7 desktop.  When I click the icon, an icon My Documents Shortcut.link then appears next to the My Documents icon.  When I right click on the shortcut icon, my screen started flickering and I mus do a Ctl/Alt/Delete to return to display system and monitor to normal.

  I tried to remove the My Documents icon, but who only 'pretending' in the file recycle.  Of course, I don't want to totally delete the My Documents!

  Any advice will be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Although it is strange that the location of your documents is

  C:\Users\Steve\Doc

  Instead of

  C:\Users\Steve\Documents

  This result shows that the "My Documents" icon on your desktop is a shortcut and not the actual file with your documents.  The icon on your desktop has a blue arrow, like this:

  

  If you delete this icon, you should get a message like this:

  

  As long as the 'shortcut' word is in the message "Are you sure", everything you delete is a shortcut and not your actual files... so go ahead and delete it.  You can then create a new shortcut or just use the 'Documents' shortcut located on the start menu:

  Hi Dan,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum!

  According to the description of the problem, it seems that you are unable to open the shortcut icons on the computer.

  To guide you in the right direction, I need a little more information of the computer with the problem. Please help me answer the following questions:

  1. what happens when you try to open the icons?

  2. do you get an error message?

  3 have there been recent changes made on the computer before the show?

  Here are a few troubleshooting methods that you can try in order to solve the problem.

  Method 1: Try to run fix it from the following link and check.
