Disable Shortcut Icon Arrow Overlay in Windows Vista

Disable Shortcut Icon Arrow Overlay in Windows Vista:

The shortcut icons in Windows Vista have Huge arrows on them. If you are worried about the look of your desktop, you may not want to see the ugly arrows.

There's a quick registry tweak to make this go away. Here's some before and after pictures so you'll know what to expect:

Before:

After:

Note: Because so many people have written in about problems with the registry tweaks, I'm going to suggest that you use the FrameworkX application first, and I'm removing the registry tweaks from this page.

Preferred Method: Using Vista Shortcut Overlay Remover utility
You can download a small, free utility from Frameworkx.com that will easily let you remove the shortcut arrows without having to do any registry patches. See how easy it is:

To Know Weather conditions using Google

To Know Weather conditions using Google:

To see weather conditions and a four-day forecast for a particular U.S. or worldwide location, type "weather," followed by the location. Usually a city name will be enough, but you may also want to include a state or zipcode or the country for worldwide cities. For example, to see Palo Alto weather, you could search for "weather palo alto, ca" or "weather palo alto 94301".

If you like to see the weather of this location on your personalized Google homepage, you can do this by clicking on the button 'Add to my Google homepage' in the upper right corner.

example: weather palo alto, ca

and enter search....

GET THE SERIAL NUMBER WITH GOOGLE

GET THE SERIAL NUMBER WITH GOOGLE :

Get the serial number you need ! (For Certain Things)*

Go to Google.*

In the search field type: "Product name" 94FBR

* Where, "Product Name" is the name of the item you want to find the serial number for.

* And voila - there you go - the serial number you needed.

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

Quite simple really. 94FBR is part of a Office 2000 Pro cd key that is widely distributed as it bypasses the activation requirements of Office 2K Pro. By searching for the product name and 94fbr, you guarantee two things.
1) The pages that are returned are pages dealing specifically with the product you're wanting a serial for.
2) Because 94FBR is part of a serial number, and only part of a serial number, you guarantee that any page being returned is a serial number list page.

See these example searches:
"Photoshop 7" 94FBR
"Age of Mythology" 94FBR
"Nero Burning Rom 5.5" 94FBR
