Shortcut arrows

#1 Post by mmjoshi » 20.10.2021, 09:04

I am using the portable version downloaded from PortableApps.com. I have done the registry hack to not show the shortcut arrow and the shortcut text. Though this works fine in Explorer, it does not work in FC as I can still see the arrow. Is there any other setting that needs to be done for the portable version?

Explorer and FreeCommander - these programs have their own options.
Please explain more exactly what you want (screenshot).

I am attaching the screenshots from FreeCommander and Windows Explorer. As you can see there is no shortcut arrow in Windows Explorer, where as you can see it in FreeCommander. I modified the registry for removing the shortcut arrow in Windows Explorer. However, that has no effect on FreeCommander.

Hope that makes it clear.

Why should FC follow non-standard registry changes targeted to Windows Explorer ?
You can suggest an optional FC setting for this.
Never understood why poeple want to ommit the shortcut display as its of importance to know the type of an entry.
If you remove an Icon without the shortcut symbol
you may delete only a shortcut but also you may delete a real file or program.

OK. Got you. Understand that this feature is not available in FC. Not a show stopper.

Thanks.
