In Windows, icons for shortcuts have little arrows to remind you that what you’re looking at is a shortcut. Even though the arrows are smaller than in some previous versions of Windows, they aren’t terribly attractive. Fortunately, they’re pretty easy to remove.
The easiest way to remove shortcut arrows is Ultimate Windows Tweaker 4 for Windows 10.
To remove arrows from shortcut icons with Ultimate Windows Tweaker, choose the Customization section on the left, click the File Explorer tab, and then click “Remove Shortcut Arrows From Shortcut Icons.” To put them back, follow the same process. The button will now be named “Restore Shortcut Arrows To Shortcut Icons.”
If you’re using Windows 7 or an earlier version, the Club recommends the older Ultimate Windows Tweaker version 2.
Unzip and load the program. Then click Additional Tweaks in the left pane. Check Remove arrows from Shortcut Icons. The changes won’t take place until you click Apply, then Close, and then reboot (or at least log off and on).
