I'm not sure if everyone will like this trick, because it will clear the name of the icon chosen, not all of the icons! just the ones you want to be JUST an icon, w/out name.
You can do this by renaming the icon (right-click then " Rename")
Now, press and hold alt then followed by 0160
or simply alt + 0160
that's the alt code for BLANK, so if you do this, the icon's name now is just blank, no name. | | Senior Member with 550 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2001 Location: north east u.k Experience: Intermediate | | I like it, thanks for the tip. | | Senior Member with 1,330 posts. | | Join Date: May 2005 Location: 127.0.0.1 Experience: Advanced | | | | | Distinguished Member with 54,748 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2001 Location: *Random People Pleaser***Sacra Experience: Having fun | | Guess windows has goofed up om me a couple of times too because I have seen files on my PC without names.
So you know of a way to search you PC for files without a name? | | Senior Member with 1,330 posts. | | Join Date: May 2005 Location: 127.0.0.1 Experience: Advanced | | That's why I only use this tip on my desktop, to make it look clean, like the Recycle Bin, My Computer, Firefox, My Documents, just the icons that are easy to recognize, and I don't recommend it to be applied to all your files, because you'll 'never' recognize your files again. So I recommend all to use it on their desktop only. | | Distinguished Member with 54,748 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2001 Location: *Random People Pleaser***Sacra Experience: Having fun | | Well that is just it i have seen a couple time files with not names but I did not do it so how did they get that way and how many more are there? | | Senior Member with 1,330 posts. | | Join Date: May 2005 Location: 127.0.0.1 Experience: Advanced | | Sorry, didn't understand your post hewee!
try Searching (Win Logo + F) for it, press alt + 0160 on the box. | | Distinguished Member with 54,748 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2001 Location: *Random People Pleaser***Sacra Experience: Having fun | | No that does not work. But now I found I havw a a folder that has been arounds for yeas C:\WINDOWS\render that has 250 4KB files that are tyoe: file. All with the same date and time. Names 0001 to 0250. Has to belong to one of the image programs. Guess left behind because the program crashed on me. | | Senior Member with 105 posts. | | Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Australia Experience: Beginner | | The recycle bin doesn't have the 'rename' option? I tried this tip but it still leaves a name box, albeit with only a - in it. Is there a way to have just the icon. | | Senior Member with 1,330 posts. | | Join Date: May 2005 Location: 127.0.0.1 Experience: Advanced |

#10 | Do the registry trick I posted before so the Recycle will have a Rename option when you right click on it, the thread is over here: http://forums.techguy.org/t413442.html
after you've done that, try to rename it, and hit alt + 0160 |  THIS THREAD HAS EXPIRED.
