What value do I enter into the registry to never attach shortcuts to
programs and folders that have been dragged to the quick launch bar?
Somewhere it tells you to set:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"Link"=hex:00,00,00,00

But this doesn't work.

Have you tried the Microsoft TweakUI program? There is an option to never
show "shortcut to" when you create a shortcut. I don't understand exactly
what you are asking but why not try TweakUI first? Do a search for it on
Microsoft.com.

I agree with FrankV - Tweakui is much the easiest way to go, but I might
mention that to do this manually the location in the Registry should be
:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer,
not in HLKM.
(Using Tweakui you will see that is where the change takes place.)
 
Thanks! It worked.
