2. Put the text below in the top of the script:
#!/bin/sh
# launcher.sh
# navigate to home directory, then to this directory, then execute python script, then back home

cd /
cd home/pi/bbt
sudo python bbt.py

Windows Fixes / Remove arrows from Icon's win1...
Last post by branx86 - June 13, 2019, 05:24:40 PM
First open regedit
Then navigate    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

Next, you're going to create a new value inside the Shell Icons key. Right-click the Shell Icons folder icon and choose New > String Value. Name the new value 29.




Now, you're going to modify that value. Double-click the new 29 value and type (or copy and paste) the following into the "Value data" box to remove arrows from shortcut icons:   %windir%\System32\shell32.dll,-50




To put the arrows back just Delete the 29 key.
