    Desktop icons without a name!

    Who has never wanted to have a desktop with icons without a name? With just an icon to differentiate the various software on the desktop. This tip shows you how to proceed.

    Before you begin, you must first go to Control Panel in the System module, the Advanced tab, then in the performance settings.

    It is necessary to ensure that the Use of shadows for the names of icons on the desktop is checked. If this is not the case, check.

    This fact, it is to rename all the icons on your desktop by giving them a name invisible. To do this, there is an invisible, the scored area. This character is holding the ALT key, while typing 0160, then releasing ALT.

    By giving each icon a name composed of divisible space, result will be the icons without name (invisible name).

    Note 1: You must name each icon with a number of different areas not scored (the first icon you will rename a single space not scored, the second has two, etc.)..

    Note 2: If you want to use this trick to other versions of Windows(other than Windows XP), you must first use a program such as Transparent or TransText to obtain a transparent background to the names of icons.

    Here is the next way:

    ALT+255 for the first icon
    ALT+255+255 for the second and so forth.



    make sure you put a space between the 255 and the 255 on the 2nd and all following icons.

    WindowFX also lets you hide desktop icon text. (not free) but you can enjoy a trail period.
