Hi

I didn't realize automatically deleting the word "shortcut" required messing
with Regedit, which I am afraid to use. I don't want to download and install
too many utilities so I will just continue to use the shortcut as it is.

But thank you for your suggestions.

It's not a utility program, but instead just a registy file that make
the change in the registry for you automatically instead of you havin
to do in manually. That's all. I had included two registry files there
one to change the setting to remove the "Shortcut" name and another t
restore the default registry settings to add "shortcut" back

It's up to you, but it is perfectly safe and will not harm or ad
anything to your computer.
