Dez, you really need to learn to use Webmaster Mode, it will tell you exactly where everything is. Manual actually covers its use pretty well.

You need to delete the dingbats code from each respective template, e.g. skin1/customer/categories.tpl and remove this
dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif"
from the last line.
Or just remove the img code from skin1/menu.tpl if you want to remove all dingbats.
To help you find the right templates, use Webmaster mode from admin.

Thank you Paul! I finnally got rid of those dingy bats!!!
I had a pop up issue with Firefox and when i fixed it the debugging screen came up and it was a big help to have that open to find files.

ok, I had just removed dingats gifs and of course that just created more problems!

Now, I commented out the dingbats from the menu.tpl and that solved the problem-- however, I see the recommendation to "remove"-- is this necessary rather than to just "comment out"?

(thanks for this thread-- I also hated those dingy bats!)

It doesn't make much difference - both have the same effect in the end.
However, for cleaner code you are best removing it totally - chances of you ever wanting dingbats put back are quite low I think!
Commenting out is great to check the effect of a change if you want to put it back shortly - but otherwise remove it, and then next time you edit the template, it's not so confusing.
Of course always keep a backup though.
