New Shortcut Default

[bobbecker44]

I read somethere that you could change the default for new shortcuts to stop inserting "Shortcut to" in their names. Can someone help me find that?

OS=Windows ME

Open regedit, and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

Highlight 'Explorer'

In the right window, right-click the value Link and select Modify.


At the point where the blinking cursor appears, type eight zeros, which will automatically be formatted like this: 00 00 00 00. Then click OK.

Good luck,
