Today I decided that I was going to pin four applications to my desktop:
Notepad
Snipping Tool
Sticky Notes
Command Prompt
Of course, now the only way to pin something to your desktop is to actually go to the file location and copy it to your desktop (as far as I know).
However, Notepad is actually notepad (.exe) and Command Prompt is actually cmd (.exe), and Sticky Notes is actually StikyNot (.exe). I can live with notepad and cmd perfectly fine, that's not an issue. But can I change the name of Sticky Notes .exe to Sticky Notes? I understand this will change it's Run command from StikyNot to Sticky Notes but I'm OCD so the change on my desktop is frustrating. I won't do anything until I know the consequences though. Can I change the name of the .exe? The shortcuts have the correct names of course but I don't want shortcuts on my desktop as I don't know if I can Run as Administrator from a shortcut.
Side note: Why in the world can you run Sticky Notes as Administrator? What benefits could that possible give me?
