How to Hide Desktop Icon Text on Windows Vista?

In Windows Vista some icons are just perceptible enough that nobody should need text to a lower place them to tell them what the icon is for. A good illustration of this is the icon for Internet Explorer. We’re all truly used to it by now, and the text just makes it surly. You just right-click on the shortcut icon, and choose Rename option. Now you should hold down the Alt key and type in 255 on the keypad to the right of the keyboard. You can not exercise the number keys right above the keyboard, they will not work in Windows Vista. If you own a laptop, you can switch on numlock and then use the little number keys next to the regular letters.

For the number one shortcut on the desktop, a mere Alt+255 will do the trick. For the adjacent shortcut, you will have to enter the combining twice (Alt+255 again Alt+255). Now for the third, three times… you now get the idea. The way this method works is that the Alt+255 character is space, so the shortcut filename is really just named with a character that is entirely blank. Since you can’t have 2 shortcuts or files named the demand same thing, the second shortcut will have to be named with 2 blank characters.

Now we have a cool looking icon on the desktop, with no bothering text below it. If you exercise this tip to rename a folder, you w'nt be able to rename the folder back using the right-click rename. I am not certain why this is. What you will have to do is open a command prompt and alter directory into the containing folder. It will look as a space. Remember that the Recycle Bin icon won’t work this way.
