my friend naidu said this tweak to me and it really worked for me guys...hope you find it useful

Method 1:
Setting the Shell Icons value
This tweak removes the shortcut arrow
* Open Regedit.exe and navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Shell Icons
* Backup the key.
* In the right-pane, create a new String value named "29"* Double-click 29 and set its data to:
C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll,50 (an empty icon)
* Close Registry Editor.

To apply the changes instantly, follow this

* Right-click Desktop, choose Properties
* Click the Appearance Tab.
* Click Advanced button
* Choose Icon from the drop-down list
* Set it's size to 31 and press OK, OK.


The changes will be applied now. Repeat the above steps and then set the Icon size back to 32 (defaults). The above steps are required to force Windows to redraw the icons.
