Ohh my word... Greenie, you must be bored!!! LOL

don't get me wrong but I've been using that reg tweak since tweak programs came out
all the tweak programs have that option integrated
as a matter of fact i hate to see "shortcut to XXX"
the icon shows that its a short-cut anyways.. (well there are ways to remove the shortcut icon as well)

Re: GreenMachine
I bet next they'll have a way to make Windows stop crashing and run like a perfect OS! *lol*

Quoting XtremeMaC "as a matter of fact i hate to see "shortcut to XXX" "

Ssh, he doesn't want anyone to see his shortcut to his porn. ;D

Now that GM has brought this up - I has a look at the key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

it's got the Link value to be 1e 00 00 00.

Can anyone explain? I have 'Shortcut to' prefix.

i've them in a safe location don't worry
i was, maybe refering to Triple X the movie ehehe, worst joke ever.

it has to be 00 00 00 00 to remove the shortcut to..

Ahh, nice cover XtremeMaC. >;D

What I'd like to know, is how you can remove the extension from being in the Shortcut. I always show my known app extensions, but when I make a shortcut I hate having to trim out the *.exe or whatever. Any ideas?

Sorry to get off-topic, but...

@GreenMachine: dude, to find that one...you need to get a dog!!!
