So if you have hundred shortcuts you will do the same? and every one after this you create?
Obviously that is an obvious solution. The registry settings given here will make so that it wont add Shortcut To and the arrow in any shortcuts from now on.

No. I dont use any tweaking softwares. I tweak my own settings.Originally posted by 3223@30 November 2003 - 23:51
do u know how to do it with tweakui?
If you dont like editing registry and you are using TweakUI it shouldnt be that bad to find. See in Desktop Tweaks or Windows Tweaks if there is any option in that. In TweakXP i remember it used to be under Windows Tweaks.

meh, sorry, just giving an easy answer. I've just never run into that problem. The most shortcuts I use are the ones on the start menu (Don't start with "shortcut to..." to begin with), and about five on the desktop. Renaming five files really isn't that much work, so it's just never been a problem with me. I guess that solution just doesn't work for everyone.
No problem.
I know what you mean. Its easy to rename 5. I have around a whole different folder having about 30 shortcuts which i am using for some other purpose. This comes in handy like those situations.

thnks. i did it ur wayOriginally posted by I.am@1 December 2003 - 04:44
Make a backup for your registry first just incase u play with it:
Start the Registry Editor (regedit)
To Delete Is Shortcut Text:
Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ lnkfile
Delete the value IsShortcut
To Delete Array in Shortcuts:
Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ piffile
Delete the value IsShortcut
Restart.
Ofcourse TweakXP or any other tweaking programs do the same thing. They modify it for you. You can do it yourself too.
You're welcome
