I know there is a way to remove it for the system, but I don't want to remove the little arrow from the desktop icons, I only want to remove it in my application window I am making. Adding the registry hack removes it from my app as well as the desktop, yet I want to keep those on the desktop. Is there something I can add in my app that will allow me to remove them in my application only? I am showing the icons in a lsitview

That looks interesting, but I have no clue on what to do with it. lol
No. Remember, it is stored as a "shortcut" in the registry, and once you remove that setting, it will remove it everywhere.Quote:

oh I agree, that is why we don't want to do it if it effects the desktop. But in my app it looks better and thats is the only thing that is in my app, all shortcuts.
I was just looking for a way to remove them in the app and not on the desktop, but we maybe out of luck. See we use Novell Application Window and they do something to there icons, as they remove the arrow and put a small N. Even shortcuts we add manually. This doesn't effect the desktop so I thought there maybe a way. My app is a remake of theirs so wanted to see if there was a way.
