Did you know that if you hold down the CTRL key and spin the wheel on your mouse the icons and arrow will change size.  I found that one smaller size allowed the icon to stay approximately the same size, but the arrow droped down in 1/2 its normal size.  Much better.  No external programs required.

that's entertaining, I hide my desktop icons but had to try this, real small to real big, great.

Not what I was looking for.  I want the arrow GONE.  That little proggy did the trick.

I've used other tweakers and the overlay always comes back latter on. Win 7 Home Premium 32bit.
