This will work for a while but eventually you will get black boxes in place of your icons. Also, some programs will no longer work, like Olympus Workspace. As soon as I deleted -29- it would work again. Instead of %windir%\System32\shell32.dll,-50 replace it with imageres.dll,-17. You can also try leaving -29- blank as that will work also, but as I already stated some programs may not start when clicking the shortcut icon.

Do -NOT- do this, I tried restoring the registry editor after I backed it up, it got an error, then when I turned on my PC it wouldn't start so I had to restore a backup, and now my computer is slow, and Chrome and my anti-virus won't start, and I can't even uninstall them after so I can just reinstall. What a nightmare.

I did this on my desktop. Tried to do the same thing on my laptop. It worked, except my computer couldn't find my audio software. Can't figure out why. I might have a guess so I'll try to see if I can do anything about it. But for now I deleted the key.

It works!
There's only one problem. I simulated importing the saved Registry file to see if it worked and i was met with a -Cannot Import... Error accessing the registry- error.
Is there a way to manually undo this in case I need to?

FOR THOSE WHO SEE A BLACK SQUARE,
Do the steps in video, log off/log in, and after you see the black square go back to the registry you just created, and delete the value under 29. Log off and log in again.

I suppose if I were commander DATA from the starship Enterprise I'd be able to process the information as fast as you're showing it. Thanks for the lightning speed tutorial Flash Gordon. Next.

This got rid of the shortcut arrow, however there is still a residual ghost outline of a box where the arrow was? My theory is that I'm using HDR color settings on Windows 10 Home.

Either the people who didn't get it right is dumb or what :)
not sure if future update will remove this.

Use Ultimate Windows Tweaker, you can disable shortcut arrows in one click without any glitches and it has a million other similar tweaks. I've been using it for years.
