I tried to get rid of shortcut arrows, but I messed up and delted something from the registry. Now all my shortcuts show .lnk at the end. How can get it back to normal? I don't want to hide all extensions, just .lnks.

Can someone tell me what their registry looks like in H KEY CLASSES ROOT / lnkfile?

Mine has:
default REG_SZ Shortcut
EditFlags REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1)
 
i guess this is the one missing-

NeverShowExt REG_SZ.

right click on lnkfile on the tree on the right,new,string value and enter NeverShowExt.thats it.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
