Hiding shortcut arrow in Xp

I
think you also don't like the shortcut arrows like me, But here is the solution to make them invisible. First creat a blank icon using paint.( How : Open paint brush and then click image attributes type 32 in both boxes and click o.k then save the file as blank.ico ) Then open registry editor by typing regedit in run box and go to Hkey_Local_Machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\shell icons right click anywhere in the right pane and from the new menu select string value type "29" (without quotes) as the name of the value and then double click on it and now fill it with the path of that icon for exp "c:\my dcouments\balnk.ico" with quotes. Now you've done but you'll see nothing happens actually you need to refresh icons (How : right click on desktop select properties and then go to appearance tab and from the drop down item list select icon and then reduce there size by 32 to 30 and then back to 32 now you've finished. No shortcut arrow haan!(Note : for windows 98, Me, 2000 and may be Nt, 95 but not for windows xp)
