Login and Cart links at the top automatically add an icon, how to remove?

[noesac]

I want to add two links, Test1 and Test2 in the screenshot below:

However the links automatically get icons added to them. How do I stop this?

I have included two snippets of code where I have entered Test1 and Test2 links (blockuserinfo.tpl):

           <!-- CASEON MOD *MOVED CLOSING LINK TAG TO MAKE THE WHOLE PRICE A LINK BACK TO THE SHOPPING CART* -->

{l s='Cart:' mod='blockuserinfo'}
{$cart_qties}
{l s='product' mod='blockuserinfo'}
{l s='products' mod='blockuserinfo'}
           {if $cart_qties > 0}

                   {if $priceDisplay == 1}
                       {convertPrice price=$cart->getOrderTotal(false, 4)}
                   {else}
                       {convertPrice price=$cart->getOrderTotal(true, 4)} [spam-filter]@THIS IS WHERE I PUT THE TEST1 LINK[spam-filter]@
                   {/if}

           {/if}
{l s='(empty)' mod='blockuserinfo'}

{l s='Your Account' mod='blockuserinfo'}[spam-filter]@THIS IS WHERE I PUT THE SECOND TEST2 LINK[spam-filter]@

I think it would be better to add the links in separate list item


instead of

but if you need them there you can add a class to them

 test1 
 test2 

and remove the background image in css

#header_user #your_account a.custom_link, 
#header_user #shopping_cart a.custom_link
{
background-image:none;
padding-left:3px; 
}
