This time, from a userComment: I received this request and created a tool called "DelShortcutArrow".

I previously distributed a tool called "Win7 Shortcut Arrow Removal" on a website I ran, but I deleted it when the website was closed, so I decided to create a new one.

"Delete Win7 Shortcut Arrow" was only compatible with Vista and Windows 7, but "DelShortcutArrow" is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7 to Windows 11.

    I'm glad you made it again!
    What's more, it can now be used on other operating systems as well!
    I feel the joy of having a broken weapon revived and made stronger than before.
