Unname
Unname removes the name of a file, leaving only the extension. Since Windows hides certain extensions (namely LNK and URL), removing the name of such a file would leave it nameless, or unnamed. This is ideal for completely hiding the filename of a shortcut on the desktop.

The best of the 'Unix Haters' online mailing list. A hoot! Full text is available of this classic book.
