🔵 *Update:* For those who are getting *Black Boxes* remove the line of code at 2:17 that is in the "Value Data" section... Basically just deleting "%windir%\System32\shell32.dll,-50" and keeping that section blank Some other viewers suggest that this worked for them!
I've tried this as well as changing to -51 with restarts of the windows explorer as well as my computer. The black boxes remain unfortunately. Windows 11 here
this is the first tech tutorial that I watched and actually understood the directions and was able to fix it first try. we need more people like this guy to make tutorials
@SarvarKayrullaev I had that and fixed it. There is something at the top he added about it. But go back into the registry and click on the registry file and remove the name. That fixes it. But look at the add on notes at the top.
The first time I encounter a tutorial that I watch and follow the instructions given because it's clear and straight to the point! Thank you mate, it worked!
Thanks so much! I know zilch about programming, but this tutorial was so simple without going into technical details that I was able to follow it effortlessly!
Thank you bro. First I had to look up how to remove the green checkmarks, then the blue arrows which led me to this video. It's crazy how this is such a process for something that should be so simple. Good video
Thank you so much for posting this. I've done 4 hours of google searches and tried way to many ways to address this issue. Such a simple fix as well and I appreciate you sharing it.
this is one of the only tutorial videos where i had no difficulty following along. thank you so so much you're absolutely great! i wish all tutorials were as nice as this one.
Jesus man thank you SOOOOO much! As some one with OCD I always like my things looking a particular way and those damn arrows have plagued me for years to the point where I just wouldn't use desktop icons and be forced to opening all my programs from file explorer. I know it may not seem like much to others but to me Sir, you are a GOD and a LEGEND. Again from the very depths of my soul I am forever in your debt 🤘🏻👍🏻
Thank you for the Tut, it worked I had to delete the "%windir%\System32\shell32.dll,-50" on reboot leaving the 29 as on windows 11 it was doing the black box thing. Thank you very much for your tut I was pulling my hair out, trying various solutions this is the only one that worked for me. Very Grateful for the help. Thank you !!!
Thank you very much for tutorial! I was always getting annoyed with that small arrows and always were hiding apps on desktop but with you i finally can normally see apps on my desktop without that small arrow!!
Thank you SOOO much the little arrow was getting on my nerves because it felt so outta place and it worked out so well, directions were so clear I understood everything and it all went according to plan!!! I cannot thank you enough.
Spot on and thank you so much. For years I've paid out on third party programs to do this for me! Certainly earned a sub and a big thumbs up. The ONLY thing I was thinking whilst doing this was "how and why" it works, what the file is, what it does and what the -50 means. Purley out of interest as to how it does it :)
Worked. So, so, so clear this tutorial. So good. You gain another suscriber here and another like. More people like you. More from you buddy. Excellent work.
Wonderful. For a change, a well organized presentation spoken clearly. Provided at a perfect pace. Thank you. My plan is to bring up this video again, move it to the right side using the Windows + right arrow key. Then, using the steps in the presentation, flipping back and forth, work through the process on the left side of my actual desktop. This should work.
No need for that. Simply drag the video to the left and clip it there and then click on the video again maybe just drag it to the left and your good to go..
Oh man, thank you so much! I have my icons set to be tiny. Recently, just by some miracle after trying every solution they finally stopped rearranging themselves after reboot. And just today I looked at them and realized that arrow takes up like ¾ of the icon. Thanks again!
I dont know why i had the strong desire to stop what i was doing to remove tiny arrows that i have never noticed before... But here we are. great video tutorial though
You can imagine that I live 35 km away from Gaza and the war, and here I am searching for a way to remove the shortcut arrow. I think we are an obsessive-compulsive disorder group, with all due respect to everyone.🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
freaking awesome, im on a damn thought rampage in customizing my stuff and added a new icon image to a game and it looked terrible with the arrow. Thanks so much!
so just to let this creator know, fantastic job on getting it, while the black boxed apperaed at first, and changing the code to 51, it still does have the black boxes

Agree. Today It seems everyones wants to be a personality or a stand up comic instead of the purspose of the tutorial
Yes agreed this was one of the best in a long time.
Most simply went through and done.
So easy.
This Chap was the best in a while.
I have a problem, now it's worse than before, instead of the previous Arrow icon there is a bag of black stuff, how do I fix it now
