The Microsoft Powertools utility program called Tweak allows the user to
remove the arrows on shortcuts.
You get to the Tweak UI from the control panel. I had a condition once
where the network neighborhood was not visible and the computer would not
recognize a LAN. After many hours with MS Tech support, I remembered Tweak.
It had apparently been installed and then removed from the system. Simply
reinstalling Tweak allowed me to restore the network neighborhood and the
system immediately recognized the LAN.
You might be able to do the same with this machine.
