Removing Shortcut Icon

For Windows Vista
You will need Vista Shortcut Manager.

Once you've installed it, and everything open the program up, and check "no arrow". Now the next time you log in it should take effect.

Or (for XP) you can also download TweakUI from Microsoft. Download is half-way down on the right column. :)
