All sorted now thanks to you guys, believe it or not the first one I tried was the FxVisor, failed miserably (64 & 32 bit), then tried .Reg files (My fault done it wrong), tried the Win 7 Ultimate tweak?, anyway that didn't work, so went back download a fresh Vista 64 Overlay from FxVisor & woila, brilliant no pesky shortcut arrows, is it me, I've been getting rid of the arrows since Win 98, bloody nuisance, or aren't most people bothered, anyway I digress, has been great talking to you all, which must be up there for being one of the top help forums on the web.
