Adding Shortcuts to Desktop Without "Shortcut To" text

Open Registry Editor and then navigate to
HKEY_USERS\ .Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

and change the binary value of "link" to "00,00,00,00" Now You can make Shortcuts to desktop without ' Shortcut To ' text.

Note: You must restart computer or logoff and login once for the changes to take effect.
