How to suppress display of .url on internet shortcuts

Hi,

I had erroneously turned off IE 11 in the "Turning Windows Features ON or OFF" settings. This was easily corrected. But unfortunately, all the internet shortcuts now display their affix .url. This is purely cosmetic problem, but rather annoying.

I have not found any source how to fix that. A certain registry value will surely do the trick. But which one?

Any tip is highly appreciated.

Regards

JD
