I have renamed shortcuts with the word shortcut in the name with no problem in Windows 10. ----- Original Message ----- From: Curtis Delzer via Talk To: Lloyd Rasmussen ; Window-Eyes Discussion List Sent: Thursday, October 15, 2015 1:56 PM Subject: Re: Desk Top Question
speaking of shortcuts on the desktop, one thing I learned not to do in windows 10 is to rename a shortcut taking the word "shortcut" out of the name, because if you do this, it creates a folder with the same name and puts whatever was at the previously named shortcut location in that folder. So, if you, for example, modify something and then go to the previous location and expect that same stuff, surprise surprise! I hope that is not too convoluted, but the action behind the scenes sure got my attention when I edited a file and found that where the "shortcut" previously pointed before the renaming wasn't effected. -- Curtis Delzer <[email protected]> On Mon, 12 Oct 2015 13:43:26 -0400 Lloyd Rasmussen via Talk <[email protected]> wrote: > I know that I have done this.
