Hello,
Perhaps it sounds like nothing. But it is very annoying for me. I tried tweak UI as well as tuneup 97 but I can't manage to get rid of that goddam link arrow for linked programs on my windows 98 desktop. Although I've chosen "nothing" or just a blank icon it always shows this little arrow. What am I missing...?

Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉

I will go on and make a fresh installation of windows 98. Maybe I installed something that interferes with this option in tweak UI. Can't guess what it could be...
