I don't know about the registry keys, but, why not just use TweakUI in
Control Panel. Go to the Explorer tab, "Shortcut Overlay" and select
"None". Then, delete your old shortcuts and create new ones. (TweakUI
won't take the arrow away, it's only good for new shortcuts). TweakUI is
on the WIN98 CD in Tools|Reskit|Powertoy.
