It’s quite easy to rename a desktop shortcut. By default, Windows only allows a certain amount of space below the desktop icon for it’s name. If you decide to use Auto Arrange to arrange the desktop shortcuts on your Windows desktop, all the icons with Shortcut to will be grouped.Īlso, with Shortcut to added to the beginning of the name of the shortcut, the name of the file or folder the desktop shortcut is for may not be visible.

When you create a desktop shortcut, by default Windows adds Shortcut to in front of the file or folder name the shortcut is for.
