From: Heathcock, John on 14 Mar 2010 21:55 I just reinstalled XP and I can't remember how to stop the the text "Short cut to..." from showing up in front of each short cut I create. How can I get this to stop?

From: Tim Meddick on 15 Mar 2010 17:23 To stop the words "Shortcut To..." from appearing before the title of each new shortcut you create, either ; 1). Open regedit and locate the value : [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer] "Link"=hex:00,00,00,00 ...and delete this value completely. To "undo" (return the added "Shortcut To...") reverse the procedure and create the [dword] value "Link" and assign it a value of 00,00,00,00 under the same key (above). or... 2). Download the [small & free] program from Microsoft called TweakUI.exe by clicking on the link below. You will find the option to "uncheck" a box labelled "Prefix "Shortcut to" on new shortcuts" under the heading "Explorer" in TweakUI.exe - uncheck it and you will have no more "Shortcut To..." Download the small TweakUI installation file from : http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/c/a/fca6767b-9ed9-45a6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "Heathcock, John" <chicothebandito(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:uAYaNK%23wKHA.732(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... >I just reinstalled XP and I can't remember how to stop the the text "Short cut >to..." from showing up in front of each short cut I create.
