Hi!

I want to remove those annoying little shortcut icons on my desktop (the little white box with an arrow in the middle). Can someone please tell me how to do this... And I also want to remove the recycle bin from me desktop because i dont need it anymore. I made it so that when i right-click a file and go to delete, it will automatically delete it without me having to empty the recycle bin. Therefore, I dont need the recycle bin on my desktop.

Thanx in advance... :)

Go here and get TweakUI, after you install it. Run the app and go to Explorer / Shortcut / Shortcut overlay put a dot in none, then click on OK...
