Don't triple post :P

I think i know what you mean by the arrows it means it is a short cut to the folder or program so just put the original folder or program there

And no text don't have a clue what you mean :haha:

Simple. Delete the text that is on the shortcut/icon that's on your desktop and click save, on administrator off course.

I'm on windows vista and it worked for me, when I tried. Why would you want no text under your icon?

Right,

To get rid of the text:

You need to use your Number Pad for this
(If you're on a laptop, use number lock. Then, underneath the letters on the far right of the keypad there should be numbers, use them)..
Hold Alt and type 255. If you want to have another Icon without text, let go off Alt and repeat the sequence after you've done it once (Same for three times, four times, etc.).

Hope this helps :)

To remove the shortcut arrow:

Download the Frameworkx program Vista Shortcut Manager (Google it) and install it.
When you first run the program, you get the options Arrow, Light Arrow, Custom Arrow, and No Arrow. Choose No Arrow.
Then, check the "remove '-' extension" box.
Click Apply and Yes to log off.

Log back on and your done!

Hope this helps :)


thanks but text thing only works with a couple of the icons i was doing it on fireworks and it said change fireworks.exe to .exe then it changed it to 3 dft005
