This means that you do not need to rename all those shortcuts on your desktop . Here's how -
Start Registry Editor.
Locate the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer Modify the data value of the Link value to be 00 00 00 00.
NOTE : For Windows 95, the Link value does not exist by default. Create the Link value as a Binary value, with a data value of 00 00 00 00.
Restart the computer.

What is "the Link value" ?? Are we supposed to create a binary value? If so, what is the Value *Name* and what is the Value *Data* I'll probably be able to figure out how to get it to work with trial and error from there... but the article is certainly unclear and ambiguous.
Ok, after further Google'ing, I figured out what the author meant. One should add a Binary Value and actually name it "Link" - and set the value as indicated, to "00 00 00 00"
The author could have made this a whole lot clearer if it was specifically indicated that "Link" was the *name* of the binary value... as it is, if one doesn't already know this, it sounds like the author is referring to some strange "link value"
