Remove the shortcut to... prefix on shortcuts Windows All
Remove the 'Shortcut to...' Prefix on Shortcuts (All Versions) Don't like having 'Shortcut to...' appended to every Shortcut? You're not alone. With this tip you can stop Windows for adding this text when creating links. Open your registry and find the key below. Create a new BINARY value name 'link', of modify the existing value, to equal '00 00 00 00' to have the Shortcut text disabled. Restart Windows before creating any new shortcuts. Note: This restriction can be used either on a user by user basis by adding it to HKEY_CURRENT_USER or on a computer wide basis by adding it to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
