I was trying to change the shortcut arrow on Windows 98SE icons according to instructions by Virtual plastic. Because I.E 6.1 SP1 is directly related to arrow thing and because Virtual Plastic wrote it for some previous version of I.E, it did not worked. I mean whatever the instructions; to change the registry settings and this and that did not worked, I got the same white arrow. However in my desperation i ran a search for "isshortcut" and deleted all entries in the registry and the arrow was totally gone from my shortcuts :blink: .

I did not even backed up my registry before doing that. I want my shortcut arrow back :( .

Reboot in DOS mode, type SCANREG /RESTORE and select which backup you'd like to restore.

This was the last hack i was doing and if there was no cure for that i would have been redoing all hacks right from start. :wacko: Thanks again.
