I have 1c in my registry, not 1e.

Weird. I don’t get the “shortcut” text and when I check the reg entry. It isn’t 1e as default. It is 16…

Cool. But this worked straight away for me, didn’t have to log off/on or restart . 32bit Home Premium

Erwin,

The solution didn’t work imediately for me, I had to give the key the value

“%s.lnk” (thats LNK not INK)

Ian: Itself solves the problem

Erwin Ried, thanks for that. One point – when you said:

“Other way to do this:Create a new alphanumeric key called:ShortcutNameTemplate….”

….did you mean that this action, in itself, fixes the problem? Or does it need to be used in conjunction with other fixes?
