| 201903 | 2003-12-20 06:17:00 | Somewhere there's a setting to disable the "Shortcut to..." prefix, but I can't remember where. I've looked in TweakUI and Folder Options, but can't find it. Please someone remind me? Win XP Pro. Thx |

| 201904 | 2003-12-20 06:26:00 | Yeah, it is called Right-click the icon and select rename .. :p Or, you might want to look at this: Remove the 'Shortcut to...' Prefix on Shortcuts (www.winguides.com) :D |

There's an inbuilt setting somewhere which'll remove the prefix. Prefer not to download a programme to do something I can do > Or, you might want to look at this: > Remove the 'Shortcut to...'

| 201909 | 2003-12-20 06:56:00 | Thanks again Jen - actually was just opening regedit as Mike replied. As you can gather I don't look too hard - I didn't see the TweakUI answer at first, and neither did I read the full page on the link you gave me! Sad I know :( | Greg S (201) | ||
| 201910 | 2003-12-20 06:56:00 | Mike to the rescue :D - no manual hacking of the registry required! I also looked in Tweak UI and missed that one :8} Learn something new around here everyday :) |
