Subject: unexpected behavior of lnk-files in Win10
Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2016 11:30 am (GMT -6)
Hi all,
I have recently updated to Windows 10. In order to get rid of the overlay-arrows for links on the desktop, I edited the registry
by inserting a "x" to disable the key "IsShortcut" for "lnkfile":
renameHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile\IsShortcuttoKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile\xIsShortcut
Afterwards, all lnk-files on the Desktop still work as expected: clicking them launches the target, and no more overlay-arrows are displayed.
But when clicking any lnk-files inside TC, I get this message now:
I have tried to delete the key, instead of renaming it. (same message appears)
I have tried to use different methods to suppress the overlay-arrows. (unsuccessful: arrows will still be shown)
Please, can anybody offer any advice as to what I could do to:
1 - not have any overlay-arrows displayed for links on the Desktop AND
2 - be able to use the lnk-files from inside TC without any error messages.
Thank you for reading this post.
PS: Here is an up-to-date export from regedit for reference, in case I screwed something up along the way.
