This didn't work for me. However, I did figure out something that did work. In my user folder, I recreated a folder named "Links." Not realizing I needed this, I had deleted it. Then, I was able to follow your steps and make it work.

Using Vista Home Premium and tried both methods with a no go. Anything else? Nothing worked for me! Matter of fact, the string was already there, I deleted and remade it but i mean what good what that do? Any options?

Dear Vishal,

Will the second solution reinstate the shortcut arrow on desktop icons?
And is this caused by deleting this registry key in the first place to remove the arrow icon?
