Remove 'Shortcut' Text from Shortcuts in Windows Vista
If you create a new shortcut in Windows vista using right-click and 'Create Shortcut', it'll be named with a 'Shortcut' text after the target file name.
For example if you create a shortcut to a Test it'll be named 'Test - Shortcut' .
In order to To remove the "shortcut" text you need to do a bit of registry tweaking. And make sure you're logged in as a user with administrator privileges.
- Open Notepad and copy-paste the following code: Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer]
"link"=hex:00,00,00,00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer]
"link"=hex:00,00,00,00
- Save it with the following details:
File Name : Remove_Shortcut_Text.reg
Save as Type : All Files (*.*)
3. Now Double-Click on this file and press to proceed.
4. Reboot your PC and log back in. All your newly created shortcuts will no longer have the "shortcut" text. The old ones will keep their name and must be renamed if you want to remove the "shortcut" text.
