Export layers to files - How to set 'File Name Prefix' empty by default?

Question

When using 'Export layers to files' I would realy like 'File Name Prefix' to be empty by defaut.
Can anyone please tell me what to change in the script to have this box NOT containing the current file name by default?

EDIT: My first post was not clear. I also wanted to get rid of the leading sequential numbers.
Thank you!

Just to be crystal clear, are you referring to the sequential numbers that are added, even if the prefix field is left blank:

Layer Names:

Layer 0

Layer 1

Exported File Names:

_0000_Layer 0.jpg

_0001_Layer 1.jpg

They are there as a safety to stop overwriting an existing file if there are multiple layers with the same name. I'm sure that the script could be modified, these Adobe default scripts are very complicated.

EDIT: If all you want is the layer name, then try changing the following as per the annotated screenshot and restart Photoshop:

This has no effect on the GUI, all it does is change the output filename.
