How to create Shortcut 'SED' instead of 'SED.exe - Shortcut'?

I often have to create Shortcuts to executable code.

I used http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/804-shortcut-extension-remove-restore.html to get instead of the Win7 default as name of the newly created shortcut.


But I would prefer to have just 'SED'. Any way to do this automatically?


I think it might matter that I do not hide extensions ['Hide extensions for known files' (Option in Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options... -> View)].

Hello Blacksmith,

This can be done by checking the Hide extensions for known file types box in Folder Options as in the tutorial below.

Hope this helps,

Hi Shawn, Thanks for your help. However that is not what I want. ''Hide extensions for known files' is something that would bother me all day if enabled - I need to see the extentions!

What I look for is, a way to suppress the extension just for the shortcuts - the moment they get created. I usually have no problems to know what I deal with, when I use shortcuts.

The only other workaround without hiding known file extensions that I know of is to rename the shortcut as it's created.
