I'm having a hard time differentiating folders and folder shortcuts since the latter lacks any visual difference, apart from the .lnk in the name:
I haven't altered my windows configuration beyond these settings, but I don't think they should matter in this case:

This works, but it also adds icons to everything else with a preview (I don't need a file icon on images after all). Is it not possible to have a big fat arrow on all shortcuts like this (when there's nothing to preview):
Or is this some windows-built-in thing?

You are in thumbnail mode, but if you want it to look similar to your last screenshot without an image shown on the thumbnail you can disable this:
Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show folder thumbnails
Alternatively if your main aim is just to tell lnk apart from folders you could use a colorfilter to color the text caption.

Having these fancy folders with an image preview is something I definitely want (I wonder how many more ini exclusive tweaks like the gradient and border there are, I'm definitely glad I stumbled on it).
I'll go read up on colorfilters then, if I can color the names of shortcuts then I'll be able to tell them apart easily.
Well that was easier than expected, thanks for pointing colorfilters out since I haven't really needed them till now
