feral Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 The prefix "shortcut to" before filename is missing. Now, when I right click and choose create shortcut, I get the shortcut icon with the bent arrow and the file name. Before, I got the bent arrow icon, then the words "shortcut to" followed by the filename.How can I restore this prefix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrzycrim Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 If you have tweak ui, select explorer in the tree, scroll down in the settings and check "prefix 'shortcut to' on new shortcuts".Another way is to navigate to this registry key:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]Look for the value name Link and delete it.Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrzycrim Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I should have asked what OS you are using.Also, if you have multiple user profiles, you should delete the Link values in the following keys:HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer HKEY_USERS\username\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ExplorerDon't delete the entire Explorer key, just the value Link in the right side.That is, if you decide to edit the registry manually. A reboot may be necessary.cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
