10.6: Remove alias icon docked folders used in List view mode
Nice hint. A shorter method though is to open the AliasBadgeIcon.icns with Icon Composer from the start. I hate this arrow, so I didn’t experiment with any single size of the badge, but deleted all masks and images, saved and then replaced the original file.

Unlike you I think the disadvantage of the method is you do lose the badge on small list views (anything which uses exactly 16 bit icons). It would be better if the Dock didn't put them there in the first place :-( But for people like you, wipe them all out.

nperry, you’re right about the disadvantage. In a few “arrow-less” days I caught myself that I miss the alias indication in the list and, especially, column views. So I modified the icon file again — deleted all badges except for the 16 px size. Like you I also use docked folders, filled with aliases of applications, as launchers. Mac OS 7-8-9 habit, I guess :) But I prefer the Grid view for this, and that’s where the arrow annoys me most.
This time all was done in Preview only. Very simple, you know — select, delete, save ;)
I wish Apple brought back “Macintosh classic” indication of the alias, I mean italic font. As an option, may be.
Btw, relaunching the Finder and the Dock were enough for the arrow to show up. No computer restart required :)
