Hi.
(I LEFT THIS IN CASE IT HELPS ANYONE ELSE. PLEASE DON'T ATTEMPT TO HELP. SEE MY OWN REPLY BELOW.)
(EDITED TO CORRECT A WEIRD ERROR)
I read the "shortcut" related topics but none help, including a similar one with (critically) far less detail provided, so here's a problem I can't resolve - hoping someone can.
I've multiple files that I need to access via shortcuts. As you all know, for a file with a name format of Filename.ext
the shortcut name format is Filename.ext - Shortcut.lnk
Some of my filenames are quite long. To avoid problems with nested folders and long file names (that can create a file address too long for Windows to handle), I need to remove the useless " - Shortcut.lnk" label from all the shortcuts.
I use Bulk Rename Utility often enough to know it quite well but I cannot find how to remove the FULL shortcut label (i.e. everything that follows the file extension; " - Shortcut.lnk"). I can remove most of the label but I haven't yet found a way to remove the ".lnk"
Can anyone tell me a solution? (If nobody has a solution, the obvious alternative is for me to report this as a suggested new or extended function request.).
Thanks for a solution.
