    Hi all


    Thank you in advanced, and happy holidays!


    Whenever i try to remove the shortcut text from an icon on the desktop, i get a message saying application.ink already exists, do you want to save it as X.


    But there is no application shortcut on the desktop already. Ive tried it for file explorer, Itunes, and many more.


    I use the ALT + 255 trick to remove the text.


    Its so annoying.


    Ive tried refreshing the background as that was where Chrome was hiding when it gave me problems,

    The programs are not pinned to the taskbar.


    Im using Windows 10 Pro


    Thank you

    :)

    Remove yellow/blue sheild icon from shortcuts


    After upgrading to Windows 10, some desktop shortcuts have UAC shield icons. Is it possible to remove them?

    EDIT: Here's a solution...
    Launch the shortcuts via CMD:

    1. Right-click the shortcut to Properties
    2. Click Change Icon, then click OK when its window pops up (necessary step to avoid losing the icon)
    3. Add the following, plus a space, to the beginning of the Target field, leaving the existing path at the end:
      Code:
      Code:
      cmd /c start ""
    I had previously solved this by editing a system icon file, but that method doesn't seem to be working as of update 1607, plus it was a lot more trouble.

    Cant send text messages

    Why can't you reply to messages in your in box?

    Try editing the options on your Goto list and add new text message to the list, that should save you 2 steps.(+-4seconds



    on most phones the left navigation key is set as a shortcut to create a new text message by default so try this also
