Today, I will show you how to remove the dekstop icon text. How it works? Because as we know, we can not rename any single item on windows OS with empty space. That’s right. On windows we can not use empty space to rename directories, files or icons. But, we still can use an empty character to replace all visible text on desktop icon. The empty characters in windows is Alt+255. So, we will use it to remove desktop icon text.
This tips can be used in Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. Here’s the steps how to remove the text from desktop icon:
- Right click on the first desktop icon which do you want to remove its text, then select Rename
- Now, press and hold the Alt key on your keyboard. Then type “255″ (without quotes).
- After that you can release the Alt Key.
Done. Now you can see the text of icon that you have renamed disappear.
To remove the text of the rest of icons, you just repeat the steps that given above. But, for the second icon you should type “Alt+255” twice. Three times for the third icon. Four times for the forth icon and so on. Until you have renamed all your desktop icons. Why, because you can’t assign a same name for two items on windows. Good Luck!
