Same problem, no white arrow, it’s a problem with explorer.exe, either do some heavy OS editing (mostly using notepad, and a true booted in copy of command prompt (the one in windows will have limitations in this any restricted setting, it reads as completing things correctly, but upon personal investigation nothing actually happens, and the opperation fails, get a fresh copy of explorer.exe (which I can’t do because of account limitations that seem to have set themselves and a vanishing admin account (won’t even load in safe mode) (I spent a while studying comp sci, and have a wealth of knowledge as to OS manipulation btw) for any mediate level user or lower I recomend a back up and reinstalling windows, for anyone else simply replace explorer.exe, I can probably post a clean version somewhere if anyone wants it, email me for one at cmdamarao@gmail.com I expect this should fix the GUI issue, what tipped me off was forcing it caused explorer to crash and never restart, I had to launch it from firefox…

or if you’re cool, go get a new GUI, I like some of the ones out there with explorer replacements and nice glass looks personally, I wish gnome ran in windows…

Hi Rajiv,

That sounds very familiar to a setting found in Windows XP, I assume it’s also available in Vista.

So the shortcut icon is still there it’s just alot smaller?

Hi Richard,

This sounds really odd, can you send me a screenshot to diagnose this. If I have an idea of what’s happening I can do a search on your behalf and dig up an answer.

Do you know when the arrow vanished?

I am missing the “white arrow” that was on the shut down button. HP steered me to your webpage for a possible solution. I am not missing a shut down button, only the arrow.

If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate them.

Thanks
