    Can't name shortcut


    I’m new to W10. I’ve created a “God mode / Uber” control panel shortcut in W10 by creating a new folder on the (display) desktop and then naming it “Uber Panel.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}”. Doing this does indeed result in a shortcut with a control-panel-like icon that when clicked on launches a seemingly more robust control panel than the one most commonly seen. Trouble is, once created, this Uber Panel shortcut sporting a control-panel-like icon not only shows no name beneath it, but won’t accept a name either.W7 has in past allowed me to create such a shortcut and allowed me to name it whatever I wished. Why am I having trouble with this in W10?

    :)

    Can't you create a shortcut for calendar from the Windows directory? Copy Calendar and then paste a shortcut in Windows/Start Menu. Rename the shortcut to a name you want.

    If you can't see the Calendar application file, it is hidden so pick the show all files option.

    Any way to put a shortcut link in Quick Access? Or a way to give a folder a nickname without renaming the actual folder?

    Looks like you can't do it with Quick Access. (as you found) You can use desktop shortcuts and name the shortcut whatever you like.

    I'd suggest using the Feedback Hub to add the suggestion.
