How to enable Dark theme in Windows 10
Microsoft may eventually add a toggle to the Settings app that switches between a system-wide light theme and dark theme. This is the way it works on Windows Phone. For now, you can still enable a system-wide dark theme — it just requires editing the registry. This will enable the dark theme for quite a few universal apps, but not all of them.
You can do this by downloading and running the required .reg files.
Download these two files and run Win10Dark.reg. It will enable dark theme. After you run the file, log out and log back in or restart your PC. To revert the settings, just run Win10Light.reg and log out and log back in or restart your PC !
How to remove shortcut arrows in Windows 10
We are going to show you how to do it the nitty gritty way through the registry. Truth be told, it is super simple and should take no more than 5 minutes.
1. Open up regedit
(1) Type in regedit into the Cortana/search box and (2) select regedit at the top
2. Answer yes
When prompted Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your PC? Choose Yes
3. Navigate
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
4. Create Key
Right click on \Explorer and using the dialog menu choose New > Key and name it Shell Icons. Press Enter.
5. Create String Value
In the right pane of Shell Icons, right click on an empty area, and click/tap on New and String Value. Name it 29.
6. Modify String Value
Double click/tap on the 29 String Value to modify it. You should see a blank box called Value data.
7. Define String Value
In the Value data box enter (or copy and paste): %windir%\System32\shell32.dll,-50 and hit OK when done.
8. Restart
You can now either reboot the computer or log off and on back again to complete the changes.
Afterwards, you should have a nice, clean desktop with no arrow shortcuts. Of course, you could go more advanced and define your own shortcut arrows or even change your system icons, but that is for another day.
For now, if you want a purer desktop with less clutter, just take the five minutes and make this registry change!
