I clicked on the link you gave me for the "light application" to remove the arrows from the shortcut icons: Windows Shortcut Arrow Editor. So this leads me to believe that when the computer was brand new from HP, there WAS an icon for HP Quick Launch that did not have an arrow (and I somehow lost that icon and it got changed to a shortcut)? You also mentioned that I could try restoring to before the icon was changed. So, when the computer was brand new from HP did it indeed have an icon for HP Quick Launch that did not have an arrow or not?! dll files for the software!īut I'm almost sure that when the computer was brand new from HP, it had an icon for HP Quick Launch that did NOT have an arrow (and I must have somehow accidentally lost it/got rid of it unintentionally!)

The link you provided for the program that can get rid of arrows in shortcut desktop icons does not seem to have any audio, or am I missing something?!Īnd since you said that I could try a system restore to before the icon was "changed" - does this mean that the original icon, when I got the computer brand new, *was* indeed an icon for HP Quick Launch/NOT a shortcut?!!
