    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,
