Killing " - Shortcut" in Windows
I <strong>really hate it</strong> when creating a new shortcut in Windows that the system appends "- Shortcut</code>" to the end of the new name. I <em><strong>really</strong></em> hate it. So I hunted until I found a way to kill it.
<ul>
<li>First, <strong>back up your registry</strong>. I can't emphasize this enough.</li>
<li>Start</code> → Run</code> → "regedit</code>"</li>
<li>Find this key:<br />Computer\HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer</code></li>
<li>Click on the Explorer</code> folder, then in the right pane double-click on the key called "link</code>", and change the first set to "00</code>"</li>
<li>Log off and log back on (or restart)</li>
<li>Shazzam</li>
</ul>

Remember, kids:<br />
<strong>Desktop jam affects everyone.</strong> <em>Folders are free.</em>
