What does that title mean? Basically it means that are you looking at removing the ’shortcut’ text link from all of your shortcuts, it is automatically added everytime you add a shortcut.

Removing them manually is possible but just annoying, so here is a registry edit for you to try that will remove the shortcut text (this will remove all ones you do in the future, not shortcuts already done);

  • Go to this location
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
  • Find the key called link
  • Change the value from 1e 00 00 00 to 00 00 00 00
  • Done
