Change or Remove Compression Blue Arrows on Icons in Windows 10  

I have tried using the ones from all of Windows' known icon dlls, but even though they look transparent, they have a border around them.

Something like this:

why did this blue arrow appear when I did not do any compression task on the specific files/folders

I found a partial solution for 1607+ I created a new transparent icon that matched the icon 226 inside the imageres.dll, I tried to replace it but cannot find a software that will replace it. The only problem I've found is tiny icons show up as black rather than transparent, seems to work great on my desktop which is the only place that it really bugged me.

You will need to change the file name to transparent rather than what this weird hosting did but you can download it here: http://www.iconj.com/ico/f/b/fb3xl6hpig.ico

Hello Sythed, and welcome to Ten Forums.

Did you use the transparent.ico file provided by the tutorial, and unblocked it?

If you don't want the files compress, then uncompressing them below will be the easiest way to remove the blue arrows.
